The Folger is dedicated to providing access to all our patrons.
Accessible seating
Patrons who wish to reserve accessible seating may contact the box office at folgerboxoffice@folger.edu or (202) 544–7077. A box office associate will be happy to find the best seat location for you. Please let our staff know if you may need assistance entering the event venue or if there is anything else we can do to make your experience comfortable.
Assisted listening devices
Our assisted listening devices, which work with headphones or with T-Coil wireless transmission, are available at most performances and events at no extra charge. Please contact the Folger box office folgerboxoffice@folger.edu or (202) 544–7077 with questions about availability for specific events.
Open-captioned performances
Open-captioning makes live theater performances accessible by using a non-intrusive caption board at the front of the stage which scrolls the entire text of the production in real time. Folger Theatre will offer open-captioned performances for all three of its shows during the 2020/21 season.
For information about the best seat locations from which to see the caption board, contact the box office at folgerboxoffice@folger.edu or (202) 544–7077.
Folger Theatre’s open-captioned performances are generously sponsored by Vinton and Sigrid Cerf.
