ASL Interpreted Performances
ASL Sightline tickets for 25-26 are available now.
These shows include American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation. This means spoken English is interpreted into ASL. There will be ASL interpreters on the stage during the performance.

Buying ASL Sightline Tickets
You can purchase your ASL ticket in advance to guarantee your seat for the performance. Since the exact placement of the ASL Interpreter on our stage is often determined near the opening of the show, to offer optimal sightlines. The seating area is TBD for now. When you book your ASL seat, you will receive a provisional ticket at first, no seat number indicated. Once the seating area is decided, you will receive the actual ticket for the show.
Follow our guide to book your ASL Sightline Tickets by clicking here.
If you have any questions, please email our Managing Director, Hugh Neilson, at hugh@gctc.ca.
As part of our ASL pricing, we offer flat-rate tickets of $15 or $25 so that you can pick the best seats for the sightlines without a change in the price.
In the gallery below are examples of our typical ASL sightline seating charts for our Mainstage Theatre.

Inside the frame is the same image of him holding a frame covering the right half of his face. This is repeated four times within the frame he holds. The man’s image gets gradually smaller as it is repeated. There is a light grey backdrop behind him.]
