Theaters

Whether you are making your first visit to Playhouse Square or your 21st, we want you to have an enjoyable and memorable experience. Most performances and events are staffed by House Managers and RedCoat volunteers who can assist you whether you need to find a theater, your seats, a changing station or to answer any questions you may have.

Boosters seats, hearing assistance devices and large print programs can be found at the House Manager’s office in each theater. Accessible drop-off is available curbside at each theater. For more information about accessibility at Playhouse Square, visit our information page.
