Radical Access

Theatre isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity—a vital part of our culture that should be available to all. So we’re doing our part to remove obstacles that keep people from coming through our doors. At the end of the day, we want to make one thing clear—

YOU BELONG HERE!

CHEAPTIX & CHEAPTIX RUSH

All seats are $25 at the first two performances of every NYTW production as part of our CheapTix initiative. Additionally, young people, seniors, artists and neighbors can snag a $25 seat via CheapTix Rush at any performance.

ACCESSIBLE PERFORMANCES

We offer two open-captioned performances for every NYTW production. We currently offer an ASL-interpreted performance for one production each season in partnership with HandsOn. Review the performance calendar for each production for more details or reach out to us at LetsChat@nytw.org with questions

ASSISTIVE LISTENING DEVICES

Assistive Listening Devices are available free of charge on a first-come, first-served basis from the box office. An ID or credit card is required to borrow a listening device for the duration of the performance.

LARGE PRINT PROGRAMS

Large print programs are available free of charge at every performance. You can request one from the front-of-house staff, house manager or the box office representative.

When we say our productions are for everyone, we mean it. We offer a range of accommodations to ensure the safety, comfort, and enjoyment of all audience members, and are committed to making our space as welcoming and accessible as possible. If you have a question or suggestions, please get in touch! Call us at 212-780-9037 (Monday–Friday, 10 am–6 pm, excluding holidays) or email LetsChat@nytw.org.

AT THE THEATRE

From the back of the theatre, there are steps down between each row from H to B. There are two steps up to row K. Accessible tickets are available online, by phone and in-person at the box office (79 East 4th Street, between Bowery and Second Avenue).

View the standard seating chart for 79 East 4th Street.

PLEASE NOTE: A Knock on the Roof will be performed in a reconfigured seating plan.

WHEELCHAIR SEATING

Wheelchair-accessible seating is available in row J, seats 1 and 16 with tipping arms for those who wish to transfer. If you’d like to remain in your wheelchair for the performance, our staff will remove the theatre chair. You can give us a heads up by emailing HouseManager@NYTW.org or calling the box office at 212-460-5475.

For guests who wish to transfer to a seat from their wheelchair, we’re more than happy to store your wheelchair in our lobby during the performance. The House Manager will return your wheelchair to you at intermission, the end of the performance or any other time you need.

WIDE SEATS

In an attempt to honor body diversity and center accessibility, we’re happy to have four 23.5” wide seats in the following seating locations: D1, F1, G1 and G22. In addition, our wheelchair-accessible seats—located in J1 and J16—are also 23.5” wide and feature drop arms. Please note that seat locations may vary by production. Please refer to the specific seating plan or reach out to us at LetsChat@nytw.org or 212-460-5475.

RESTROOMS

We encourage everyone to use the restroom that best fits their gender identity or expression. We have two restrooms in the lobby, one “GENERAL SEATING” restroom with two private toilet stalls and one “STANDING ROOM ONLY” restroom with a single toilet stall and two urinals. All stalls are equipped with handrails and the first stall in the “GENERAL SEATING” restroom is sized to accommodate mobility aids. The restroom doorways are 26″ wide.

SERVICE ANIMALS

Service animals are welcome at New York Theatre Workshop and must rest in the seating area of the individual during the performance. Animals are unable to occupy the aisle during a performance.

LOOKING BACK AND MOVING FORWARD

We acknowledge that our location in the East Village and the architecture of our buildings has not historically been universally accessible. We’re actively taking steps to bridge those gaps by developing new initiatives to make sure our theatre is welcoming to everyone. We’d love to hear from you about other accessibility projects we should consider or if you have feedback about your experience at NYTW. Get in touch with us by emailing LetsChat@nytw.org. We hope to hear from you!
