You are welcome here! 

Handicapped patrons may be dropped off the cutout on Bolton Road, directly in front of the Nafe Katter lobby doors prior to parking your car.

Handicapped patrons may be dropped off at the cutout on the sidewalk in front of the Harriet S Jorgensen Theatre on Jorgensen Road prior to parking your car. Best approach to the cutout is via Auditorium Road from N. Eagleville Rd. 

Handicapped parking is available by Jorgensen on Glenbrook Road, across the street from Jorgensen in the Admissions parking lot, and in the North Garage. 

A limited number of Assistive Listening Devices (ALDs) are available to improve audio accessibility for individuals with hearing loss. 

If you wish to borrow an ADL device please stop by the Box Office to check one out. We will hold your drivers license while you use it.

We are committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive theater experience for all, including those with sensory sensitivities. We recognize that some individuals may engage in stimming, or self-stimulatory behaviors, as a way to regulate their senses and cope with sensory overload. We understand that stimming is a natural behavior, and we encourage individuals to express themselves freely within our theater spaces. We offer our lobby as a quiet area for breaks as the need arises. We encourage choosing an aisle seat near the lobby doors for your convenience if you anticipate needing breaks.

There are handicap-accessible women’s and men’s restrooms in the lobbies of all three theaters.

Additionally, there are gender-neutral handicap-accessible restrooms available to everyone.

  • Nafe Katter: through the two sets of green doors, turn left down the red hallway. On the left.
