Our ACCESS program is committed to accessibility for all audiences. We offer a number of services to accommodate persons requiring mobility, vision, and hearing access.

One Saturday matinee for every mainstage Center Theatre Group production is designated as an ACCESS performance. These performances are designed for patrons who are deaf, hard of hearing, blind, and/or have low vision. ACCESS performances at the Ahmanson Theatre, Mark Taper Forum, and Kirk Douglas Theatre all offer American Sign Language interpretation and Audio Description. In addition, we are proud to offer Open Captioned performances at the Ahmanson Theatre thanks to a generous, anonymous Artistic Director's Circle gift.

This program began in 1980 in association with the Pulitzer Prize-winning play Children of a Lesser God as Project D.A.T.E. (Deaf Access Theatrical Experience).
