Accessibility

We believe that our Big Stories, Up Close should be accessible to everyone and offer the services listed below.

Patrons wishing to make reservations for any special performance or take advantage of any accessibility service may contact Accessibility Coordinator Erica Foster directly at 773-761-4477 x703 or access@lifelinetheatre.com, or in person at the Lifeline Box Office (6912 N. Glenwood Ave.) Monday-Friday from 9am to 5pm.

Services for people who are blind or have low vision

A touch tour is a chance to visit the set, feel the props and costumes, and meet the characters before the performance. Audio description is a live commentary by trained describers, interspersed with the actors' dialogue.

Services for people who are deaf or hard-of-hearing

Open captioning is a service for people with any level of hearing loss, featuring a text display of the words and sounds heard during a production.

Services for people with social and/or cognitive disabilities

Autism/sensory-friendly performances are relaxed and sensory-friendly theatre experiences designed to be more accessible to those individuals on the autism spectrum or to others with cognitive/developmental disabilities.

  Special thanks to Theatre Development Fund's Autism Theatre Initiative for service as an advisor.

Services for people with mobility disabilities
