2006 Performances at the Overture Center
Each season, Overture Center for the Arts offers specific Broadway
performances that will be interpreted.
Performance quality interpreters spend weeks preparing for the
interpretation of those performances.
Our policy is to hold our accessible seating to the very last minute, *
but once we sell out of all other seats, we must start to sell the seats
that we held in reserve for our patrons who might seek accommodations.
If you are interested in attending any of this season's Broadway
performances at Overture Center, please contact Jess at 608-258-4144, to
reserve your seats soon.
The remaining 2005/2006 scheduled sign language interpreted performance
at Overture Center are:
Movin' Out, Saturday, June 3, 2006 2:00 PM, interpreted by: Kris Orkin
and Erin Reed
Other events can be interpreted upon request when purchasing tickets. If
you intend to use this service or purchase tickets on behalf of someone
who will use this service, please inform the ticket office staff. They
can assist with seat selection for the best viewing of the sign-language
interpretation. The locations of the Interpreters change from production
to production.
To contact the ticket office, please call 608-258-4144 or TTY 608-258-4967
