Accommodations

Performances
A limited number of large-print programs will be available for guests with low vision/vision impairments at each performance. We can accommodate a variety of special seating requests (chairs with armrests, extra space for a wheelchair, or a service animal). If you would benefit from these accommodations, please identify yourself with one of our volunteers so they can assist you.

Food
South Shore Conservatory is a nut-conscious community. In an effort to provide a safe space for all students, we request that no food containing peanuts or tree nuts be brought into either of our campuses at any time. Although many of our events include a reception, please feel free to enjoy a treat from home provided that it is peanut and tree-nut-free.

ASL interpretation
Sign language interpretation is available upon request. Please contact Kristy Faby to request this service at least one week prior to the event.

Facilities
South Shore Conservatory is committed to being an organization that welcomes the widest range of audience members possible - removing barriers to participation and welcoming everyone in, regardless of ability.
