*The 2pm performance on Sunday 3/3 will offer Open Captioning. Open Captioning is a live, word-for-word transcription of what the performers are saying as well as sound cues like “phone rings”, “knock at the door”, or “classical music”. Open Captions are visible to all audience members and no one can enable or disable the captions based on their preferences. Open Captioning is preferred by many, including individuals who are deaf or hard-of-hearing, and people whose second language is English. This service is provided by Ai-Media and sponsored by the Office of the Dean of the Faculty, the Presidential Discretionary Fund, IT/Media Services in collaboration with the Arts Administration Program and Theater Department.
