The Dome theater is equipped with Rear Window Captioning to assist guests who are deaf or hard-of-hearing. Please contact Guest Services in the lobby to make arrangements at least one hour before your show time. If you have questions, or would like more information about this system, please contact the Community Partner Liaison at 804.864.1543 or accessibility@smv.org.
ASL (American Sign Language) interpretation often provides the most effective communication for people who are deaf. An interpreter can be arranged to provide tours of the Museum or supplement any of the Museum’s performances. Please make arrangements for an interpreter at least two weeks prior to your visit by contacting the Community Partner Liaison at 804.864.1543 or accessibility@smv.org.
Various locations throughout the Museum are equipped with assistive listening technology, including the Dome Theater, Dewey Gottwald Center, and Barbara Thalhimer Theater. Please visit Guest Services to check out a receiver.
