Wheelchair Seating
Wheelchair seating in the Main Hall is available in Row I and (K for extra companion seating) of the Orchestra Level, and Row E and (G for extra companion seating) of the Mezzanine Level. Visit the seating chart for details. Accessible locations are reserved for use by patrons with disabilities, but may be released for general sale when all other locations are sold. If you are planning on transferring to a theatre seat from a wheelchair or mobility device, please inform the ticket office when ordering so we may seat you in an appropriate and safe location. Fire safety codes forbid items such as wheelchairs and mobility devices from being left in any aisle where they may become an obstruction in an emergency. Only entries 1, 11 & 12 completely avoid stair steps on approach from lobby.
Crutches
Patrons who use crutches may store their crutches behind the seatbacks in front of them by lying the crutches on the floor flush against the seatback. Patrons are asked to ensure the crutches do not extend out into the aisle to avoid creating a tripping hazard for others.
Sign Language Interpretation
Sign Language Interpretation for Morrison Center sponsored performances requires advance notice. Please call the Special Assistance Line at 208-426-1111 Monday through Friday, 10:00 am - 5:00 pm to schedule an interpreter. Some restrictions may apply (i.e. interpreter availability, accessibility materials, etc.).
