Accessibility: Our theater is up a flight of 21 stairs (plus a step up off the street) with railings on both sides of the staircase. We do have a separate entrance with dual railings if you prefer a private entrance that is less trafficked. We can also plan seating to accommodate your preferences (i.e seating you near an exit with close access to a single stall, wheelchair-accessible gender-neutral restroom).
While we do not have an elevator onsite, we do have access to a Genesis mobile stairlift (rated up to 400 pounds).
Please email newporttheater@gmail.com in advance of your arrival to coordinate entry/operators/liability waivers.
We believe everyone should have access to the theater, so we're happy to work with you to ensure the best experience.
