Planning a trip to the movies and wondering, “What Movie Is In The Theater?” At our venue, we believe everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy the magic of cinema. We are committed to providing an inclusive and accessible experience for all our guests. Whether you require wheelchair access, closed captions, audio descriptions, or sensory accommodations, we’ve designed our facilities and services to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable visit.
Finding out what’s playing and planning your visit is easy. Our “Showing Today” signs are updated daily and prominently displayed at the front desk and right as you enter the theater. These signs clearly indicate which films are offering closed captions (CC) and audio description (AD) options. Volume amplification is available for all our theater content, ensuring you won’t miss a moment, whether it’s a blockbuster movie or a special event like Science Pub and Reel Science.
To enhance your movie experience, we offer a range of assistive devices available upon request. You can ask for these at the Front Desk, the Concierge Desk, or directly from any of our friendly theater ushers. We have limited quantities of:
-
CaptiView closed caption (CC) viewing devices: These innovative devices fit conveniently into your cup holder and allow you to personally adjust and view closed captions directly in front of you, ensuring you catch every line of dialogue.
-
Fidelio RX audio description and volume amplification units: These units provide descriptive narration of the movie’s visuals, perfect for guests with visual impairments. They also offer volume amplification, allowing you to customize the audio to your preferred level and clearly hear the dialogue.
-
Williams Sound NKL-001 neck loops: For guests who use hearing aids equipped with a telephone coil or T-Switch, these neck loops seamlessly integrate with your hearing aids for a clearer audio experience.
We understand the importance of comfortable seating. Our theater features an upper-level entrance that is wheelchair accessible, which also provides access to wheelchair accessible restrooms. Please note that the lower-level main entrance is accessible only by stairs due to the theater’s layout. If you require assistance in locating accessible areas, please don’t hesitate to check in with a Guest Services Representative or one of our helpful volunteers.
For your comfort, the general theater seats measure approximately 16.5 inches wide and 21.5 inches deep (rough inside measurements, not including arm and backrests). We also have dedicated accessible seating areas with chairs designed for greater space and support:
- Two accessible seating area chairs: These measure 39.29″ high, 29.5″ wide, and 29″ deep.
- Additional accessible seating area chairs (available upon request): These are 23.5″ wide and 21.5″ deep.
The weight capacity for our accessible seating area chairs is 500lbs, while the additional accessible seating area chairs support between 200lbs and 250lbs.
