Accessible seating

The North Shore Center for the Performing Arts in Skokie is fully compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Both theatres feature wheelchair accessible seating locations, for patrons who wish to remain in the wheelchair, or transfer out of the wheelchair into a theatre seat. These seats are also available to be used by companions of patrons who are using wheelchairs. If you require accessible seating due to limited mobility, please contact the box office by phone and ask your ticket agent for availability. For patrons with hearing impairment: The North Shore Center features a ListenTech RF assistive listening system available for all shows on a first come first served basis. We ask that patrons using these devices please leave a drivers license, state identification card or credit card with the House Manager until the device is returned at the end of the performance. Both facilities are also equipped with telecoil loop systems which are a special type of sound system for people who use hearing aids. The loop system provides a magnetic wireless signal that is picked up by a hearing aid when it is set to the T setting (telecoil).
