Expanse

Accessibility

Expanse is a celebration of ALL bodies on stage.

Expanse 2025 will feature:

  • Lobby ASL Interpretation
  • Live Open Captions
  • Relaxed Performances*
  • Sensory Informed Performances: We will provide fidgets/ ear protection/ and various seating options to help folks succeed in a rock concert environment, but there will be no changes to the show itself.
  • Described Audio*
  • Pay-What-You-Can Ticket Structure

This year’s festival’s accessibility coordinator is Carly Neis, who is collaborating with independent consultants, interpreters and audio describers to provide diverse ways of engagement and entry points to the Expanse. This work is also based on many past years in collaboration with The Good Host Program. Any access inquiries and/or feedback can be sent to Carly@azimuththeatre.com

Venue Accessibility – WESTBURY THEATRE ATB ARTS BARNS

Information from Fringe Theatre’s Website Included Below

WHEELCHAIR INFO

All our theatres in the ATB Financial Arts Barns are wheelchair accessible. Patrons requiring a wheelchair stall must secure their ticket at the box office in person or by phone. General admission tickets purchased online do not guarantee wheelchair stall availability.

HEARING ASSISTANCE

Our main box office and all our theatres in the ATB Financial Arts Barns are equipped with hearing loops (T-Coil Loops) for patrons with hearing loss. These loops transmit directly to a hearing aid or cochlear implant electromagnetically, with no extra equipment. To use the system:

  1. Ask your hearing aid provider to activate your t-coil function.
  2. When you arrive at the theatre, switch your hearing aid to your t-coil function and adjust the volume as needed.

Those without hearing aids can also utilize a portable headset receiver. Units are available to rent for free from the box office, and are available on a first come, first serve basis.

DEDICATED ACCESSIBLE TRANSIT SERVICE (DATS)

The designated DATS drop-off is located on the east side of 103 Street, north of Whyte Avenue. More information is available here.
