Accessible Restrooms

All theatres have wheelchair accessible restrooms and many offer baby changing stations. There are also private accessible restrooms in the main lobby of the State and Orpheum and on the lower level of the Pantages that can accommodate an attendant.

Animal Policy

Service animals are welcome in the theatre provided they do not disrupt the performance. It is recommended that patrons bringing service animals should purchase tickets in the accessible section to have enough space to accommodate the animal.

Assisted Listening Devices

Portable listening devices that amplify the sound from the stage are available free of charge from any usher for all events. A photo ID will be held while the equipment is in your possession. Listening devices which are compatible with t-coil hearing aid technology are available as well as standard amplifying headphones.
