Accessible seating/locations are available in all performance spaces. Patrons may either remain in their wheelchairs or transfer to theater seats. Transfer seats are available in all three venues. Patrons who would like to remain in their wheelchairs during the performance should request wheelchair-accessible locations when buying their tickets. These seats can also be purchased online. Movable seating locations are indicated with a wheelchair symbol and companion seats are indicated with a star.
Accessible entrances and electronic doors are located at the entrance to the building and all three theaters. The building's open layout allows most locations to be easily accessed without encountering a door.
Accessible restrooms are available on all levels of the Mead Center.
Accessible Ramps and Elevators allow patrons to reach all 4 levels of the Mead Center. An Accessible Ramp may be used to enter the center from the parking garage. An elevator operates between the Main Entrance level (off Sixth Street SW) to the Main Lobby. A second elevator services the Kreeger Theater Orchestra, Main Lobby and Terrace levels.
Courtesy wheelchairs are available for loan to navigate the Mead Center. We suggest that those planning on using one of our wheelchairs bring someone to assist them around the Mead Center, since our volunteers and staff are not able to leave their posts to assist. We may request your ID to be held when checking out accessible materials and devices.
