Parking is only on the street and is parallel parking, or in a garage a few blocks away; basically, wherever you can find parking. There is only one designated accessible parking space nearby, and as it is parallel parking, there is no access aisle (road on one side of vehicle, sidewalk on the other). Parking seems a little congested, and probably would be more so the night of a show.

There is a wheel-o-vator provided to get up the stairs to the restroom. The wheel-o-vator is located at the front of the theater to the right of the stage. The wheel-o-vator is operated by someone who is not using it. The wheel-o-vator has two doors, one on each side; the doors are manual, lever doors, with an opening force of 1 pound, and they open out. You enter the wheel-o-vator on one side, at the bottom of the level, and exit on the other side at the top of the level. I have provided a picture of the wheel-o-vator in order to see what the wheel-o-vator looks like.
The restroom door opens in. We had to move the trash can inside in order for there to be a large enough space for wheelchair maneuvering.
