The seats in that area extend from just in front of the stage to the back of the auditorium. Audience members sit in the seats in front of the interpreters in the second through tenth rows. They have a clear view of the interpreters and of the action taking place on the stage. At the Lab, where the seating arrangement is flexible, interpreter placement is decided for every production. Seats are saved for the audience members so they have a clear view of the interpreter and the play.
Audience members receive a program supplement as they take their seats.
The supplement includes biographical information about the interpreters and a list of the characters with their name signs. Sometimes it also includes a short description of the characters, a synopsis of the play, and a list of upcoming ASL interpreted events at the Guthrie. There is a sign interpreter volunteer greeter in the Lobby just in front of the box office who will help patrons who are picking up tickets and answer any questions. There is also a sign interpreter volunteer usher who will help seat patrons in the auditorium, answer questions and assist at intermission. One companion season ticket is available at the same low price with each ASL interpreted performance season ticket purchased.
