Theaters & Performing Arts Centers

Most people know that the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires accessibility to public accommodations (such as restaurants, bars and movie theaters). But when you go out to enjoy a movie at your local theater, they must do much more than make sure you can get through the door.

Going to the movies is an enjoyable experience. They are a way to help relieve tension from work, school, or even family. Because people enjoy going to theaters, accessibility compliance for those with hearing and visual impairments is being sought.
