WHEELCHAIR INFO
All our theatres in the ATB Financial Arts Barns are wheelchair accessible. Patrons requiring a wheelchair stall must secure their ticket at the box office in person or by phone. General admission tickets purchased online do not guarantee wheelchair stall availability.
HEARING ASSISTANCE
Our main box office and all our theatres in the ATB Financial Arts Barns are equipped with hearing loops (T-Coil Loops) for patrons with hearing loss. These loops transmit directly to a hearing aid or cochlear implant electromagnetically, with no extra equipment. To use the system:
- Ask your hearing aid provider to activate your t-coil function.
- When you arrive at the theatre, switch your hearing aid to your t-coil function and adjust the volume as needed.
Those without hearing aids can also utilize a portable headset receiver. Units are available to rent for free from the box office, and are available on a first come, first serve basis.
DISABLED ADULT TRANSIT SERVICE (DAT)
The designated DATS drop off is located on the east side of 103 Street, north of Whyte Avenue. More information is available here.
* Service availability will vary from performance to performance. We will have all accessible performances listed below in the coming days! We are so excited to share with you all!
