Making GGO's Operas Accessible to All The Marin Center's 2000-seat Marin Veterans' Memorial Auditorium has architectural accessibility- wheelchair access to the theatre and restrooms. Golden Gate Transit bus service has transportation to the Marin Center and wheel chair accessibility. We plan as part of the funding from the NEA as we work toward producing Carmen in 2011, to make this project itself accessible and to market that accessibility. If you would like to volunteer to be our liason with a special needs group, please contact us. |

Patrons needing signing interpretation, large print programs and other access accommodations
can contact the box office for this consideration; but we will plan to reach out to let special
needs groups know that we have this capability. GGO plans to lappoint a volunteer to liaison
with groups in the community for special needs persons, so that we can know specifically what
they need, arrange for it, and respond to those groups that their needs for accessibility are
able to be filled and how to receive that accessibility. We will create outreach with the project
to groups that would not have access to attending the full production.
We plan to include accessibility information and news, in all marketing for our programs coming up on our web site, in E-letters, on facebook, twitter, and on promotional materials and in PR. We will arrange for office staff to have information about accessibility, and train our board, staff and all volunteers for GGO as well, so they can let their contacts and the public know. We will plan accessibility accommodations for outreach performances such as at the Canal Alliance Community Center, public opera preview, In-School performances or a free performance in the park in Sausalito. We will speak about GGO accessibility for Carmen, and our efforts in planning accessibility, when speaking at Rotary, Kiwanis or the Chamber of Commerce. We will work with the Civil rights national office to make sure we are accessible to all people. Back to Top 3030 Bridgeway, Ste 125, Sausalito, CA 94965 | 415.339.9546 | info@goldengateopera.org |
