ACCESSIBILITY INFORMATION

Our facilities feature ADA-approved signage, handrails and automatic door openers.

The Huizenga Skywalk connects the Arts & Entertainment Parking Garage with the Horvitz Lobby in The Au-Rene Theater. The skywalk entrance provides protection from the elements and easy access for patrons with disabilities.

A second entry is located at the bottom of the driveway entrance, immediately across from the Arts & Entertainment Parking Garage.

Patrons with limited mobility may be dropped off in front of the Au-Rene and Amaturo Theaters via the front driveway. The drop off point allows for access to all event and meeting spaces.

Accessible seating is available and can be limited. We encourage you to order early and to specifically request seating for wheelchair access, easy access transfer or swing arm seats, sign-interpreted, audio described or open-captioned performances when placing your order.

Accessible seating may be purchased by calling 954.462.0222, press option 1. Wheelchair seating may also be purchased on line at BrowardCenter.org. Look for the wheelchair icon on the seating chart and click to purchase.

Wheelchair/Accessible Ticketing Policy

It is prohibited for anyone other than those requiring the accessible features of a seat or that of a guest's companion to use accessible seating locations (unless the area has been released for general seating). Those purchasing wheelchair accessible seating may purchase one (1) wheelchair accessible seat and up to three (3) companion seats; any additional seats must be purchased in the regular seating areas. This policy ensures that we can maximize use of all available and accessible wheelchair seats at our theater.

We have a limited number of wheelchairs available at no charge. Please ask any Guest Services Manager or Front of House personnel for assistance.

Assistive Listening Devices are available in all of our performance spaces.

These devices amplify and clarify sound for patrons who are hard of hearing. There is no charge for the use of the headset. If you wish to use one of these headsets during your visit, please see the Guest Services Manager or Front of House personnel in the lobby.

Listen through an assistive listening device (ALD) to trained audio describers as they provide a live description of the action and visual elements of the performance.

Please note: a limited number of headsets are available per performance on a first come basis. Offered at select performances of Bank of America Broadway in Fort Lauderdale (BAA), Miami City Ballet (MCB) and Florida Grand Opera (FGO)
