A courtesy wheelchair is available by request to any patron during their visit on a first come, first served basis. Patrons are encouraged to call Dairy Arts Center staff in advance if they anticipate needing a courtesy wheelchair. It is strongly recommended that patrons who do not normally use a wheelchair bring a friend or companion to assist them in maneuvering the wheelchair around the Dairy Arts Center. Staff can make arrangements for patrons to borrow wheelchairs but may not be able to leave their posts to assist patrons in moving around the building.
ACCOMMODATED SEATING
For general admission shows, it is best to call the Box Office in advance at 303-444-7328 to make sure we can accommodate your needs before you purchase tickets. For reserved seating shows, you can select the ADA-designated seats that best suit your individual needs. Please arrive 30 minutes before show time, and check in with the Box Office or Dairy house management staff. ADA-designated seats will be located in Row A of the Grace Gamm and Gordon Gamm Theaters and Row E of the Boedecker Theater. ADA-designated seats in the Carsen Theater will depend on the configuration of the particular performance. Dairy Hartman Box Office Associates and House Managers will work with you to make sure you purchase the seat that best fits your needs for a particular show.
AUDIO ENHANCEMENT
Personal listening devices (with ear buds or loop necklace) are available free of charge to audience members attending all performances at The Dairy. To check them out, the box office will hold your driver’s license or credit card, returning it to you when the listening device is turned in to The Dairy House Manager on duty at the end of the performance. These earbuds are tuned into an FM frequency that receive sound picked up from the transmissions of choir mics suspended above our stages. Currently, over-the-ear listening devices are unavailable but you are welcome to bring your own.
Note: Our Boedecker Theater is now equipped with a hearing loop.
What is a hearing loop and how does it work? Hearing Loops allow people who wear hearing aids to directly receive the sound from a PA system in their own hearing aids, much like Wi-Fi for laptops. To hear better, you will no longer have to pick up a separate listening device. Europe has thousands of hearing loops in churches, cathedrals and theaters. US installations are becoming more common.
Do my hearing aids work in a loop? If you wear hearing instruments you will need to find out if they have this wireless receiver, called a T-coil or Telecoil, built in to benefit from the hearing loop in our theater. The T-coil program is accessed by pushing a button on your hearing aid. This T-coil setting has to be activated before use. Please consult your audiologist to ensure your t-coils are properly adjusted.
Hearing loops improve hearing aids
Digital hearing aids have significantly improved in the last decade, but they do not restore hearing to normal. Difficulties often remain when in challenging listening situations. Hearing loops help hearing aid users overcome this problem by broadcasting sound without background noise or reverberation. Loop Information: www.hearingloop.org
PERSONAL CARE ATTENDANT TICKETING POLICY
For any patron with disabilities who requires a paid, certified Personal Care Attendant (PCA), we will provide a PCA Pass at no cost with a paid admission. A patron with disabilities who requires a PCA and wishes to purchase advance tickets should contact the Hartman Box Office at 303.444.7328 or office@thedairy.org to request a PCA Pass with their paid ticket. PCA Passes may be only picked up in person by the patron and the PCA at the Box Office. The PCA Pass will enable the PCA to enter the theater and sit with the patron during the performance or event. PCA Passes are nontransferable and hold no monetary value. We request all cancellations of orders that include PCA Passes be communicated to the box office more than 3 hours in advance of the performance or event. All paid tickets with a PCA Pass are subject to the Dairy Arts Center’s Hartman Box Office Terms and Conditions. As with all patrons, seating is subject to availability.
