Deaf and HoH Accessibility

The Fringe is very excited to get more involved with the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community. We are working to improve our accessibility and welcome any feedback!

Artist-selected d/Deaf and Hard of Hearing Friendly Shows were reviewed, and ASL Interpretation has been selected and chosen by Landon Krentz, Director of Artistic Sign Language.

“FRIENDLY” SHOWS:

The artists have self-reported whether they consider their shows “Deaf and Hard of Hearing Friendly,” which suggests their meaning and enjoyment does not depend on sound elements. For full show descriptions and tickets, click the show title.

These shows are largely non-verbal and may be suitable for patrons new to the English language.
