Arrival Guides

Parking

Designated Accessible spaces are available on the Main Street side of the garage on Level M and Level 3. If all of the designated Accessible spots are claimed, parking on any level of the garage by the Main Street elevators will allow you to access the theater complex without the use of stairs.

The parking garage costs $15. Metered street parking is available for free after 6pm Monday-Saturday and all day Sunday.

Entering the Building

Our facility is closed outside of performance times. Ticketed guests may begin entering the building one hour prior to a scheduled performance. The lobbies of all three of our theaters are accessible via the Main Street elevator, and on the street level, guests can also enter the complex through the door next to the Main Street garage entrance.

Restrooms

Actors Theatre of Louisville is committed to providing accessible restrooms for people of all genders. There are two sets of ungendered restroom facilities on Level 1 which are open to all guests, with private stalls in each facility. On the Mezzanine Level, there is a restroom designated M with private stalls and urinals, and a restroom designated W with private stalls.

Each restroom has accessible stalls that provide additional space for wheelchair users or anyone requiring companion assistance.

Wheelchair Accessible Seating

Wheelchair-accessible seating is reserved for guests requiring the features of these seats and their companions. These seats are denoted on the seat map by an icon. Wheelchair-accessible seats may be left in place for someone to transfer into from their wheelchair, or may be removed from the theater to make room for someone who remains in their wheelchair throughout the performance.


Add any details about your seating requirements (i.e., "will transfer” or “remove seat for motorized chair”) that you would like us to be aware of to the "additional details" section at checkout. A team member will follow up with you to ensure that we are prepared for your visit.


If a guest seated in a Wheelchair-accessible seat does not need the specific features of the accessible seat or location, Actors reserves the right to re-seat the ticket holder to an alternate seating location.

Closed Captioning is available on your personal mobile device. Any device that can open and access a web browser can display the transcription. Actors Theatre has a select number of devices available for guests without mobile devices.

Tips

  • Device holders that attach to your armrest or a railing are available at the Radical Hospitality Hub.

Please note, for productions in the Bingham Theater, staging is “in the round,” which means that performers will have their backs to various sections of the audience at different moments. Some guests find it more difficult to hear when they cannot see the performer’s lips moving. If you may benefit from an Assistive Listening Device for this or any other reason, please feel free to check one out.
