Spotlighters Theatre is committed to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for all audience members. Our long-term goal is to make the theater fully accessible to every patron, and we are actively working toward that vision. We are thrilled to share that we have received a grant to support major accessibility improvements, and work on this project will begin soon.
As we continue this journey, we recognize that our space is still a work in progress. At this time, there is no wheelchair access to the theatre. However, we will make every reasonable effort to accommodate patrons with disabilities or special mobility needs. To ensure the best possible experience, please contact the Box Office at least two weeks in advance with any accessibility requests so that appropriate preparations can be made. Advance and reserve seating options are available for individuals and their guests who require additional support.
We deeply value accessibility, and we appreciate your patience and partnership as we expand and improve our facilities. Stay tuned for updates as we move closer to our goal of a fully accessible theatre for all.
