Before you go

Treat downtown as part of the visit. Arrive early enough to park once, walk to the theatre and keep dinner or drinks in the same downtown loop.

Parking & arrival

The theatre does not operate its own garage. Downtown Knoxville garages and lots are the practical starting point; event-night signs and current city guidance take priority.

Accessibility

Accessible seating, drop-off and parking options are available. Because accommodations can be performance-specific, confirm current needs with the theatre before the event.
