FAQs

Where can I park?

There is street parking around The Theater and several parking garages including Innovation Square Garage, Midtown Garage, Washington Square Garage located nearby.

Is The Theater Accessible from the ground floor?

Yes, the main entrance to The Theater is located at ground level with direct access from the street. Once inside the lobby, elevators on either side go up to The Theater lobby located on the second floor. Unfortunately Balcony seating (located on the fourth floor) is not accessible via elevator so patrons are encouraged to purchase tickets in the Orchestra level if they have physical limitations.

Is there accessible seating?

Yes, accessible seating is located in the orchestra section of The Theater. Please choose the appropriate seats from the online Box Office, or call the Box Office to make arrangements, including companion seating.

Are service dogs and/or companion animals allowed in The Theater?

Service dogs are welcome in The Theater. In New York State, Service Animals are defined as a dog trained to do work or perform a task(s) for a person with a disability. We suggest purchasing a ticket on an aisle for the comfort of the animal and other patrons. At this time, other companion animals are not permitted.

Can I record or photograph an event?

Policies regarding photography and audio recording vary from event to event. Please contact The Theater for information regarding a specific event or ask an usher. Announcements will be made prior to a performance regarding the specific policy of that event. If not permitted, an usher may ask you to refrain from taking pictures/recording, and if that request is ignored, the usher may ask you to leave the performance.

You'll find more information on the FAQ page of our website.
