PARTNERS IN ACCESSIBILITY.

The Public Theater partners with the following organizations to offer Live and Recorded Audio Descriptions, Open Captions, Closed Captions, American Sign Language interpretations, and direct access to seating for our productions at The Public and The Delacorte Theater.

ACCESS Broadway NY

ACCESS Broadway NY’s was founded in 2021 by a network of Disabled creatives from all corners of the Theatre industry who were responding to the need for new solutions for accessible programming in the theatre industry. We decided to become a group resource available to venues throughout the country helping to create and advise institutions on their Accessible programming and policies. To date we have worked with the Broadway League, Playbill, regional theaters, off-Broadway and Broadway venues as well as educational institutions on how to become intentionally accessible. When it comes to Inclusion we have found that working with a company led by Disabled people makes all the difference, we want to give each venue a comprehensive look at inclusion from the people it directly affects. We are proud to partner with The Public Theater to provide Closed Captioning and Recorded Audio Description services for this year’s Free Shakespeare in the Park Season.

Since then, our ASL offerings have significantly expanded across all our venues and productions.
