Gesa Power House Theatre is proud to provide an assistive listening system with equipment and technology to enhance the theater experience for patrons with hearing loss or impairments. This equipment is now available to all theater patrons, with no fee, and is part of the theater’s efforts to improve accessibility at the theater.

Assistive Listening Devices

Assistive Listening Devices (ALDs) amplify and clarify sound by cutting down or eliminating ambient noise. Assistive Listening Devices are available free of charge in the Box Office on a first-come, first-served basis. They can be picked up prior to show time by simply providing a contact telephone number. We encourage early arrival when you are planning to use assistive listening devices or to connect your devices to our system to ensure there is enough time to make any needed adjustments before the event begins.

There are multiple receiver options available that can be selected by patrons based on their preference. Additionally, this hearing accessibility system can be used by those with and without hearing aids or cochlear implants. Patrons can also connect to this system via Bluetooth with their hearing devices by downloading the free WaveCAST Audio Receiver app available in the Apple App Store or on Google Play on their cell phone. Any personal devices (i.e. hearing aids or headphones) used for this system must be Bluetooth compatible and able to connect to wifi. For more information please call (509) 529-6500, email boxoffice@phtww.org, or speak to theater staff when you arrive at the theater for further assistance.

Sensory Tools & Equipment

Patrons can check out a complimentary KultureCity Sensory Bag from the Box Office or table in the lobby area prior to shows at the theater. This bag includes sensory tools such as noise-canceling headphones, a communication cue card, VIP lanyard, and various fidget items. Additionally, weighted lap pads are also available to check out at no charge.
