American Sign Language Interpretation
The Marcus Center Broadway Series typically offers sign language-interpreted performances for the 2:00 p.m. Saturday matinees. If the show runs for more than one week, the signed performance would generally be on the first Saturday. If you are unable to attend the scheduled sign language interpreted performance, alternative arrangements can be made, depending on availability of interpreters. In order for arrangements to be made with a sign language interpreter, please notify the Marcus Center at least two weeks in advance of your performance.

Assistive Listening Devices
Uihlein Hall: Uihlein Hall assisted listening is transmitted via infrared. We have 2 receiving options available for our patrons: a stethophone infrared receiver, or the neck induction loop receiver for patrons with hearing aids equipped with a “T” coil.

The neck induction loop, used in conjunction with the body pack infrared receiver allows the user to receive wireless, clarified sound using our infrared listening system inside the theater. The technology is designed to work in conjunction with a person’s hearing aids. Note: The hearing aid must be equipped with a “T” switch or have a telecoil setting to use the neck induction loop.

The listening devices are distributed from the Public Information Office located on the north side of the Orchestra Level with a picture I.D.

Todd Wehr Theater: Stethophone infrared receivers are available that have a port that can accept a loop device plugged into it for patrons with hearing aids equipped with a “T” coil. We request a picture I.D.
