Accessibility

Welcome to the Orange County Performing Arts Center. We hope the following information will help make your experience at The Center more enjoyable.

Assistive Listening Devices - Patrons with hearing impairments are encouraged to use The Center's Sennheiser System. Wireless, lightweight headsets are available at no cost to those who wish to enhance the theater's normal sound level. Headsets may be picked up at a booth in the middle of the Plaza Level Lobby. Although this infrared system accommodates every seat in the house, for best results, The Center recommends not sitting in the first four rows of the orchestra level. To obtain a headset, a driver's license or major credit card will be required and then returned upon receipt of the equipment at the end of the performance.

Binoculars - Compact binoculars are available for rental in the Plaza Lobby level. A driver's license or major credit card is required, in addition to the rental payment, and will be returned upon receipt of the equipment at the close of the performance.

Seating - Accessible locations for patrons with mobility impairments are available on both a season ticket and single ticket basis. Along with advance notice, it is recommended that patrons using wheelchairs be accompanied by a companion to provide assistance. Seating for one accompanying patron is available next to the wheelchair space. Additional guests in your party are seated as near as possible. Please call 714.556.2787 for availability and reservations.

Parking for Ticket Purchase
and Patron Drop-Off - Street parking for a limited number of vehicles, for 30-minute intervals only, is available in the circle drive in front of The Center. This parking is available for those patrons wishing to make ticket purchases at the Box Office and for patron drop-off and pick-up.

Parking for performances - Accessible parking spaces are available at Center Tower Garage, adjacent to The Center (on Sunflower Avenue between Avenue of the Arts and Park Center Drive). From the garage, there is elevator access to Town Center Drive and The Center's Street Level and Plaza Level entrances. Please note that this parking structure is independently owned and operated, and a parking fee is charged.

Signed Performances - Currently, one Saturday matinee performance of each Center Broadway musical is interpreted in American Sign Language. For further information on seating and reservation for these signed performances, please contact the Box Office: Voice 714.556.2787, TTY 714.556.2746. Information on Center plans for additional signed performances may be obtained by contacting The Center's Accessibility Services Coordinator.

Telephone - An accessible telephone equipped with TTY is located off the Street Level lobby. Please ask any of The Center's ushers for assistance.

Braille Programs - House programs are available in Braille upon request. For Braille program requests, please contact The Center's Accessibility Services Coordinator at least three weeks prior to the show.

Usher Assistance - The Center's ushers are happy to escort and aid patrons who request assistance to and from their cars, before and after the performance. Ushers are also available to read program notes upon request.

Large Print Programs - Large print (18 pt font) performance highlights from the house program are available for Center-presented events and may be obtained from the house manager or head usher.
