What is a Talk Back?
A Talk Back is a twenty minute post-show facilitated discussion with audience members and the artists. If you have a ticket for a different performance of the same show, bring your ticket and the usher will let you into the Talk Back. Sign language interpretation will be provided.
Will interpreters be provided for performances?
Sign language interpreters are not necessary in QuestFest performances. All performances are fully accessible to deaf and hard of hearing patrons without interpreting. Performers communicate information, relationships and emotions through movements such as traditional mime, dance, sign language, and gesture. Video or multi-media projection may also be used. Spoken foreign language in productions will not be interpreted into spoken English. Contact info@questfest.org for more information about close vision or tactile interpreting.
What happens if it snows?
QuestFest has several venues and each one decides independently of the others whether or not to close because of snow. Any cancellations will be posted on our homepage.
If Gallaudet University is closed, the Student Academic Center (SAC) is also closed, and our shows at Gallaudet University will be cancelled for the day. To find out if Gallaudet University is closed check their website.
There are no refunds in the case of a snow cancellation but you can exchange your ticket for another festival performance. To make an exchange call the venue that had the snow cancellation to make a reservation for a different show at the same venue OR call the Festival Coordinator to make a reservation for you at another venue. The day of the show present your old ticket at the door. Exchanges are on a space-available basis.
