Our Accessibility Features
Asolo Rep is designed with diverse patrons in mind. Beyond interpreters who perform in ASL, we offer assistive listening devices, wheelchair accessibility features and other accommodations that make your visit more comfortable.
ASL & Relaxed Performances
Experience theatre in a way that’s accessible to all. Asolo Rep modifies select shows to include American Sign Language (ASL) interpretations and relaxed adaptations. Discover how we welcome diverse audiences to share both Relaxed and ASL-Interpreted performances.
ASL Performances
See a show interpreted through ASL! We partner with VisCom, a RID-affiliated professional sign language interpreting agency, to offer at least one ASL-interpreted performance for every show in our season. Join us to see interpreters perform in ASL alongside Asolo Rep’s artists.
VisCom Interpreters
VisCom interpreters are highly skilled, trained and qualified to meet the linguistic needs of all deaf and hard-of-hearing patrons. They carefully listen to words, inflection and intent and simultaneously render the message in ASL.
To purchase tickets for ASL performances, please email us at boxoffice@asolo.org and request seating in view of the interpreters.

Relaxed Performances
A Relaxed Performance is designed to create a welcoming, judgment-free environment where everyone can enjoy live theatre comfortably. These performances are especially suited for individuals who may benefit from a more flexible and supportive theatre experience, including those with autism, sensory sensitivities, anxiety, learning differences, or anyone who prefers a more relaxed setting.
During a Relaxed Performance:
- House lights remain slightly dimmed instead of fully dark.
- Audience movement and sound are welcome — you’re free to come and go as needed.
- Quiet spaces or calm areas may be available in the lobby for anyone who needs a break.
At Asolo Rep, our goal is to make theatre accessible and enjoyable for everyone, fostering a supportive environment where all audiences can feel at ease. Enjoy the show!
