    Extremely helpful

    Everyone was extremely helpful. My assistance dog was very well cared for during the performance, my wheelchair was kept accessible to me, and everyone was very friendly and understanding. Can't wait to return.

    Beautiful venue but old building means access is limited.

    Love this place and have visited and performed there over the years but this is my first visit as a disabled customer. The owners have done their best to make the venue as accessible as possible but are limited by the restrictions of the building. Visit if you can. It’s well worth it.
