Stuart’s Opera House believes that the arts should be enjoyed by all.

We are committed to making our theater and community spaces welcoming to every guest by offering a range of accommodations that ensure equal access to our venue and the arts experiences within.

ACCESSIBLE ENTRANCE

Stuart’s Opera House at 52 Public Square Gift Shop entrance requires patrons to navigate two steps from the Gift Shop to enter the lobby. An alternative accessible entrance is located just north of the Gift Shop entrance, allowing patrons to access the Grand Lobby without the need to navigate any steps. Additionally, there is an accessible entrance to our community spaces located at 30 Public Square.

The entrance to the Box Office is at sidewalk level and is accessible. Tickets may be purchased in person at the Box Office, by phone at 740-753-1924, or online at stuartsoperahouse.org. Patrons with special needs may purchase tickets with cash or with a credit card to the same extent that tickets of the same type and location are available on a cash or credit card basis to other patrons.

ACCESSIBLE SEATING

There are designated seats in the theater for guests who require wheelchair-accessible seating. Accessible seating is limited and a request for accessible seating does not guarantee availability. Guests must use their own wheelchairs or other mobility devices.

Tickets are available upon request and subject to availability. Patrons should identify the need for wheelchair / limited mobility seating when purchasing tickets by phone with the Stuart’s Opera House Box Office at 740-753-1924.
