Performing Arts Fort Worth has partnered with KultureCity to improve our ability to assist and accommodate guests with sensory needs. Our objective is to provide an inclusive and seamless experience for all guests for all events including those with sensory needs.
Performing Arts Fort Worth uses Williams Sound T45 FM Systems in all performance spaces. The system is available with high quality sound-isolating monophonic earphones or neckloop couplers for patrons with hearing aids or cochlear implants with telecoil devices. The devices are available on a first-come, first-serve basis at no cost with a photo ID and phone number and may be checked out at the Accessibility Kiosk located in the west portal for Bass Hall performances, see usher for all other performance spaces.
Audio description helps to ensure that people who are blind or have low vision enjoy equal access to performances. Audio description uses the natural pauses in dialogue or narration to provide essential visual information. A trained describer inserts descriptions of critical visual elements: actions, appearance of characters, body language, costumes, settings, lighting, etc. Descriptions are delivered through a wireless earphone allowing people who are blind or have low vision to sit anywhere in the audience.
Audio descriptions are designated for the Broadway Saturday Matinee.
GalaPro is a free, revolutionary, innovative app for accessibility and translation, which enhances the audience’s experience for live performances. Patrons using the app can now enjoy the show with subtitles, translation, audio description, closed captioning, and amplification in their own language. All services are provided in real-time, using voice recognition technology.
Sign Language Interpretation is designated for the Broadway Saturday Matinee performance. A two-week advance notice is required.
Performing Arts Fort Worth (PAFW) adheres to regulations defined in the Department of Justice’s Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
ADA only recognizes dogs as service animals and requires that they are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for a person with a disability, including a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental disability, including but not limited to:
Service animals in training, emotional support animals, and dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the ADA.
PAFW staff is trained to ask certain questions to determine if a dog is a service animal under ADA regulations.
A service animal must be under the control of its handler. Under the ADA, service animals must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered, unless the individual’s disability prevents using these devices or these devices interfere with the service animal's safe, effective performance of tasks.
All complexes owned and operated by Performing Arts Fort Worth, Inc. meet all Americans with Disability Act requirements. Items subject to availability and may not be available for all performances/events. Performing Arts Fort Worth is not responsible for injury, illness or other issues due to misuse or damage caused by the user. Unless otherwise indicated, the performance has not been modified to be sensory friendly.
