Seating

Our intimate 143 seat theater allows all patrons to be connected with the story being told. Will Call is in the rotunda on the main level (LEVEL M) of Highland Park Community Center and the main entrance to the theater is on level 2 accessible by the elevator (LEVEL CR). There is a second entrance on the main level with a ramp into the theater. Row A seats and back row wheelchair seats are on ground level and do not require stairs to access.  For more details, click the image to the right to enlarge the facilities map, or call the Box Office at (651) 647-4315. When ordering tickets, please specify any seating needs or preferences. 

Low Vision Seating

Our facility allows a unique opportunity for patrons who have low vision or blindness. While we recommend sitting in the front row for the best experience (less than 5 feet from the stage), no matter where you sit, you'll be within 25 feet. Large Print programs are available at Will Call and can be handed to you with your tickets if requested. Audio Described performances are also available (more below). 

Physical Accessibility Seating

Seating is available for patrons utilizing other forms of mobility assistance, such as walkers. Please inform the Box Office when purchasing tickets so the front of house staff can assist you. Due to fire code, walkers or other accessibility items may be moved from the seating area at the beginning of the performance and returned to you during intermission and the end of the show. Row A has the most leg room and floor space. All seating in the theater, except for Row A and wheelchair seats, are reached by stairs.

Wheelchair Seating 

Wheelchair and companion seats are available for ticket purchase online or over the phone. Wheelchair seats do not include a physical chair, unless intended for a patron with a wheelchair or a companion. When ordering online, the wheelchair icons on the map indicate available wheelchair areas or possible companion seats. Please specify your needs so that we can arrange to have a companion chair placed if needed.

Special Services

Audio Described Performances (AD)

Audio Description is a form of audio-visual translation, using the natural pauses in dialogue or between critical sound elements to insert narrative that translates the visual image into a sense form that is accessible. AD will not affect patrons who have not requested the service. Equipment needed is located at Will Call. Our interpreter will explain how to use the equipment and answer questions prior to the performance. Ask for special AD pricing for you and your companion at the time of your reservation.
