Plan your visit
Do not assume a current Rattlestick performance is at Waverly Place while construction continues. Use the individual program page for its host, date, tickets, and arrival information. The company’s courtyard or partner theaters may be used for selected events; follow only the location on the current official listing.
Accessibility
The former theater required 17 entrance steps and additional seating steps and was not ADA compliant. Renovation is adding an elevator, accessible lobby and backstage restrooms, level staging, and assistive-listening capability. Until reopening, accommodations depend on each temporary host and must be confirmed per event.
About Rattlestick Theater

The building is being renamed the Terrence McNally Theater and is receiving an elevator, accessible restrooms, flexible seating, updated systems, and other access improvements. Current work may be presented off-site.
