Seattle Rep is Bringing Patrons “Into the Loop”

The Seattle Repertory Theatre is proud to announce an innovative new assistive listening system for patrons with hearing loss.  The hearing loop system uses wireless technology to transmit the speech or music on stage directly to theatergoers’ cochlear implants and hearing aids with T-coils.  Patrons will hear sound picked up by the theatre’s PA system rather than from the microphone in an implant or hearing aid, resulting in a clearer sound with less background noise.

With the instillation of this new system, Seattle REP is now the largest institution in the city with full hearing accessibility.

The theatre and the Hearing Loss Association of Washington urge you to join them for the launch of the new system at a special preview performance of “Sherlock Holmes and The American Problem” on Sunday, April 24.

The evening begins at 7:00pm with a Hearing Loop Presentation in the Bagley Wright Theatre, followed at 7:30pm by the performance.  Go to seattlerep.org and use the promo code “ SHERLOCKLOOP” to purchase $25 tickets.  If you are a subscriber, swap your tickets for this loop-focused performance with no exchange fee.

ABOUT THE SHOW
Sherlock Holmes and the American Problem
By R. Hamilton Wright – Directed by Allison Narver

World Premier: The American Wild West and Victorian England collide in this original adventure tale.  The year is 1887, the occasion is Queen Victoria’s Jubilee, and the coincidences are suspiciously piling up. The creative team behind 2013’s hit The Hound and the Baskervilles is at it again with more thrills, more laughs and more unbelievable deductions.
