Descriptions are delivered through a wireless earphone allowing people who are blind or have low vision to sit anywhere in the audience and enjoy equal access to performances.
Touch Tours are offered for specific productions aimed at our blind or low-vision patrons. These tours provide an opportunity to explore the sets, props, and costumes related to a Broadway traveling production. Participants will receive comprehensive information from the production staff during the tour. Touch Tours are available for select performances.

Performing Arts Fort Worth (PAFW) adheres to regulations defined in the Department of Justice’s Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The ADA only recognizes dogs as service animals and requires that they are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for a person with a disability, including a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental disability, including but not limited to:
Service animals in training, emotional support animals, and dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the ADA.
PAFW staff is trained to ask certain questions to determine if a dog is a service animal under ADA regulations. A service animal must be under the control of its handler at all times. Under the ADA, service animals must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered, unless the individual’s disability prevents using these devices or these devices interfere with the service animal's safe, effective performance of tasks.
All complexes owned and operated by Performing Arts Fort Worth, Inc. meet all Americans with Disabilities Act requirements. Items subject to availability and may not be available for all performances/events. Performing Arts Fort Worth is not responsible for injury, illness or other issues due to misuse or damage caused by the user. Unless otherwise indicated, the performance has not been modified to be sensory friendly.
