Plan your visit

Use 317 East Fifth Street and verify whether the ticket says Taft Theatre or Ballroom. Paid downtown parking and transit are nearby. Check the event page for doors and age guidance, bring a compliant clear bag if needed, and note that the balcony is stair-only because the building has no elevator.

Accessibility

The venue has accessible entrances, designated wheelchair and companion seats, an accessible and gender-neutral lobby restroom, service-animal access, and ASL interpretation by request at least three weeks ahead, subject to availability. There is no elevator and all balcony seats require stairs.
