SHU Community Theatre is a 100-year-old building and we recommend all attendees use extra caution upon entrance. We highly recommend that patrons with accessibility needs select orchestra seats at checkout. Any patron attending an event in the balcony is invited to ask a theatre staff member for extra assistance, if desired. For any further inquiries about accessibility, call 203-371-7817 or email us at communitytheatre@sacredheart.edu.

There is also wheelchair access to the upstairs lounge area in the space where tables T1 and T2 (when available) are positioned.
