The Fox Cities Performing Arts Center announces the addition of new amenities that will continue to support the Center's mission of being a gathering place for all.
The new Parent Suite in partnership with Women's Health Specialists is located on the Dress Circle Level and provides a quiet, private space for parents during their visit to the Center. Whether a new mother needs a lactation space or a parent needs a quiet place to calm or change a child, this space provides a resource for all parents enjoying the arts. Patrons who may need to utilize the suite should visit the Center's information desk during their visit. Patrons who have questions about the Parent Suite prior to their visit can call the ticket office at (920) 730-3760.
"A few years ago we began receiving requests from patrons about having a space more specifically designed for the needs of new parents. Internally, we searched for just the right space and externally we knew we would need a partner to help us ensure the space was the most effective it could be," said Fox Cities P.A.C. President Maria Van Laanen. "Partnering with Women's Health Specialists allowed us to consult with the experts on the needs of new parents to create a useful, comfortable space that will help create a welcoming experience during each visit to the Center."In addition to these new initiatives, the Center continues to offer accessibility services that make the arts available for all. These include being the first Broadway presenting theater in Wisconsin to have a T-coil Hearing Loop. The Center also provides loop listening devices, available at the Information Desk during all performances. American Sign Language performances are available, with a full schedule found on the Center's website. Also on the website, a social story provides a learning tool with patrons on the autism spectrum. Alternative format programs such as large print and Braille are available upon request in advance. The Center also has accessible seating at each level and price point, including transfer seating available on the Orchestra Level.
For more information about accessibility services please call the Center's ticket office at (920) 730-3760 or visit in person at 400 W. College Avenue in downtown Appleton.Videos
