Accessible seats A1-A4 are reserved for guests with hearing, sight, mobility, or other access needs and their companions. These seats are non-fixed padded chairs which can be removed to accommodate a guest’s wheelchair or electric scooter as needed. TAKE A VIRTUAL TOUR OF THE ASHBY STAGE!

If you plan to sit in your wheelchair or electric scooter during the performance, please contact the box office in advance of the performance so we can be sure to best prepare the space for your arrival. If you do not plan on staying in your mobility device during the performance, our staff can assist in storing mobility devices during the performance. We are also happy to store walkers, canes, braces, or crutches for you to collect after the performance.  Our lobby does get crowded 20-30 minutes before performances. We suggest arriving earlier (our lobby opens one hour prior to the performance) to avoid crowds and more comfortably access the restrooms and concessions.

The stairless, wheelchair-accessible entrance to the Ashby Stage is on the left (west) side of the building, on Martin Luther King Jr. Way. When you arrive at the theater, let the front of house staff know you need to use the side entrance, and we’ll be happy to assist.

We understand that there are many members of our community who prefer to gather in masked spaces. To make our performances accessible to as many people as possible, we offer select Sunday “Masked Audience” performances. Food and drink will still be available at our concessions and can be enjoyed outside, but there is no eating or drinking inside the theater during these performances as all audience members, ushers, and staff will be required to wear masks. Performers will be unmasked while on stage during the performance. Upcoming masked-audience performances:

• Sunday in the Park with George – Sunday, December 14

Restrooms at the Ashby Stage are all-gender. Please note that we have restrooms on both the left and the right of the front entrance. Accessible restrooms are on the left-hand when you enter the lobby. Each restroom has a slightly different configuration, so please be sure to check the signage on the doors to find the restroom that best suits your preferred facilities and desired level of privacy. Or, just ask our helpful staff, and we’re happy to point you in the right direction!

If you have a medical condition that makes it difficult for you to sit for long periods of time, or if you have any other special needs with which our team may assist, please alert us at the time you book your tickets. We will be happy to assist with seating recommendations or to see if we can provide specific accomodations to address your accessibility needs.

Shotgun welcomes service animals into the theater! However, due to the small size of our space, you must contact the box office in advance of your scheduled performance to ensure everyone, including your service animal, has adequate space to sit comfortably and enjoy the performance.
