Accessibility

1812 Productions performs at the historic Plays & Players Theatre, located at 1714 Delancey Place in Center City. We do not own the property but are the primary renter of the mainstage performance space. For each of our productions, we offer the following accommodations and resources. If you have any questions about the information listed here, please contact our Administrative Office at 215-592-9560 or at info@1812productions.org.

Audio Devices & T-Coil Loops
Patrons can borrow the following equipment for free:

• Audio headsets: Earpiece and battery packs with volume control that amplify the performance.

• T-coil “induction” loops: Worn around the neck, these devices transmit performance audio directly into hearing aids and cochlear implants that have a “T” (for telecoil) setting.

We provide these devices for all performances on a first come, first served basis, with no reservations required. Please pick them up at the Box Office window.

Open Captioning (OC)
During Open Caption (OC) Performances, the actors’ lines appear on a small LED screen near the stage as they speak. OC benefits patrons who are deaf or hard of hearing and helps to ensure that all patrons can fully enjoy the performance. We offer OC for select performances. The dates will be listed on the information page for each show, on the postcard we distribute for each show, and on the performance calendar where you buy tickets.

Wheelchair Access
1812 Productions performs at Plays & Players Theatre, a historic building. While we have created accessible space within the theatre proper, unfortunately, the restrooms are located on the Lower Level and are not accessible. There is a ramp to access the lobby from the sidewalk and there are no stairs into the theatre proper. The wheelchair accessible and companion seats cannot be purchased online. If you’d like to attend, please contact our box office at 215-592-9560 or info@1812productions.org to purchase the seats. If you use a larger, motorized wheelchair, please contact our box office to discuss the best seating options.

Entrances, Ramps & Stairs
There are two main doors into the Plays & Players Theatre lobby from the street. One door has one stair, the other has a ramp. There are no stairs into the Orchestra Level of the theatre. The Orchestra Level is raked, meaning the rows are higher the further back you go. There are stair-free paths into the theatre from the lobby via aisles that run down the center of the theatre and on the far-left and far-right sides.
• Rows B thru G (there is no row A) have no stairs to access the row.
• Rows H thru M have one stair.
• Row N has two stairs.
• Row O (the last row of the orchestra) has three stairs.
The Mezzanine and Lower Level are only accessible by stairs from the lobby (all restrooms are on the Lower Level).

 
Restrooms
Plays & Players Theatre maintains two restrooms on its Lower Level. 1812 Productions has designated these restrooms as All-Gender for all of its performances. Both restrooms are on the Lower Level and are only accessible by stairs.
