VENUE ACCESSIBILITY

​

​

We try to make sure all the venues we perform in have accessible parking, access, and seating.

​

Here is information for our patrons who may need some accommodation in order to attend our concerts. Note that we perform in several different venues and we have general seating. While it is rare for accessible seating to be completely occupied at one of our concerts, if you have a concern, please contact us so that we can be certain to block off whatever seating you need.

​

Large print programs are also available upon request. If you have any questions about accessibility, or need special accommodations, please contact us!

​Rehearsal Venues:

ACADEMY OF MUSIC

This is a historic building in the heart of Northampton, which can make finding accessible parking a little difficult.

 

Designated handicapped parking spaces are located on the streets throughout Northampton. However, if you cannot find a designated space near the theater, you may park in ANY space and display your handicap placard, and you will not have to pay the meter or adhere to any parking time restrictions.

​

The theater has 16 wheelchair spots in the orchestra level, and access without stairs is available by using the ramp at the front entrance. An accessible restroom is available on the first floor.
