Seating

We have comfortable padded seating. Please note that seats C1 – 19 are raised seats with a footrest.

Sennheiser Infrared Hearing Facility

For use by customers who are hard of hearing; please note we currently only offer the Sennheiser device which fits directly into the ear. Please ask the Box Office for a free receiver when booking.

Guide dogs

…are welcome. Please let us know at the time of booking whether you would like your dog to accompany you into the auditorium or be looked after by Theatre staff.

Access tickets

£15 tickets are available for any performance (subject to availability) for audience members with access requirements. A complimentary ticket for a personal assistant is also available to those who require it. These are only available by signing up to our Access List

Stagetext captioned performances

Theatre captions are similar to television subtitles. The actors’ words appear on a screen, placed next to the stage or in the set, at the same time as they are spoken or sung. Captions also include additional information such as speaker names, sound effects and offstage noises. For OT On Screen on demand performances these can be switched on or off. These performances can be helpful for people who are Deaf and hard-of-hearing.

We reserve seats specifically in a position to be able to best view the captions. Please call the Box Office to book these seats on 020 8940 3633 (Monday to Saturday 10am to 6pm).

Audio-described performances

 These performances have a live audio description of what is happening onstage that can be heard through headphones. These performances can be helpful for people who are blind and partially sighted.
 
We label seats specifically in a position to be able to best enjoy the audio description with “Best for ADP“. You can book these online or call the Box Office to book these seats on 020 8940 3633 (Monday to Saturday 10am to 6pm).
 
Relaxed and distanced performances
For distanced performances tickets are sold in bubbles of 1, 2, 3 and 4, and you won’t be able to leave isolated seats when booking online. Relaxed performances are suitable for anyone who would benefit from a more relaxed environment. Lighting and sound may be adjusted slightly, house lights may remain on throughout the performance, audiences are free to leave and return to the auditorium. There will be a designated quiet space front of house.
 
£1 tickets
We want everyone to be able to enjoy a show out at the Orange Tree Theatre, and we appreciate how hard things are for many people on low incomes right now. Please see our £1 tickets page for more information.
