Accessibility Outreach

The Guthrie is a partner with VSA arts of Minnesota and their Access to Performing Arts Project, which among other things helps arts organizations get started, continue and afford to offer ASL Interpreted, Captioned and Audio Described performances.  If your venue does not have Audio Description equipment, reservations can be made through the Guthrie by contacting the Accessibility Manager by email at accessibility@guthrietheater.org or phone at 612.225.6390 (voice) or 612.225.6391 (TTY).  The Guthrie voluntarily manages this reservation system.
