Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts

Accessibility


The Kimmel Center Box Office has a window that is fully accessible.
Seating
Wheelchair-accessible seat locations are available throughout Perelman Theater, Verizon Hall, and the Academy of Music. Please call 215-893-1999 for location and availability for specific venues and events.

American Sign Language Interpretation (ASL)
American sign language interpretation (ASL) is available at select performances of the Broadway Series. ASL allows deaf performing arts patrons to understand and enjoy the performance by having all the spoken and sung lyrics translated into sign language. The interpreters are located on the side of the Parquet section and are visible to all patrons seated near them, providing a seamless viewing experience for those needing the service and a beautifully interpreted language for those interested in seeing the show performed through sign. Call 215-893-1999 for more information and ASL performance dates.
