Accessibility

We are committed to ensuring that all our patrons can fully experience the magic of cinema. Our facility and services are designed to accommodate visitors of all abilities, and we continuously work to enhance our accessibility features.

Physical Accessibility

Theater Access

  • Our downstairs theaters offer dedicated wheelchair-accessible seating areas designed to provide comfortable viewing experiences for wheelchair users.

  • Theater locations can be easily identified on our website by looking for the wheelchair icon under the "Screen" information when selecting a showtime.

  • Currently, Theater 1 is not wheelchair accessible due to its location and the historic nature of our building. We are actively fundraising to install an elevator through initiatives like our Pre-Oscar Cocktail Party.

Restroom Facilities

A fully ADA-compliant bathroom is conveniently located on the first floor, directly across from Theater 2.
