Disability Services

 

Pioneer Center has installed a variety of aids to assist the handicapped in gaining access to, and enjoyment of, the performances. To this end, we are fully compliant with State and Federal ADA regulations.  The Pioneer Center staff and volunteers have been specially trained to assure that patrons in need of these assists can utilize them to their best advantage.
If you have special requirements, by all means contact us at (775) 686-6600 as far in advance as possible so that we might be better prepared to meet your particular needs.

Hearing Assist System
Patrons with hearing difficulties are encouraged to use the Center's headset system. Wireless, lightweight headsets are available at no cost to those who need hearing assistance. The headsets may be picked up at the coat check area on the main floor. To obtain a headset, a driver's license or major credit card will be required and will be returned upon receipt of the equipment at the close of the performance.

Wheelchair Spacing with Partner Seat
Accessible locations for patrons with wheelchairs are available for both single ticket and subscription ticket holders. Along with advanced notice, we recommend that patrons using wheelchairs be accompanied by a companion to provide assistance. Seating for one accompanying patron is available next to a wheelchair space. Additional guests in your party will be seated as near as possible. Patrons who are unable to leave the theater without assistance should request wheelchair access seating, as transfers to normal seats will not be available.
