Theaters

Culbreth and Helms Box Office

924-3376

When making reservations or purchases, advise the theater of your specific disability so they can make suitable accommodations. The box office is accessible via the set of 5 doors (one of which is automatic) at the front of the drama building.

Culbreth

Culbreth Theater sets aside six seats for use as disability seating. The designated seating permits a person using a wheelchair to sit beside or behind his/her companions. Access to the Culbreth Theater itself may be obtained in two ways: wheelchair access to the Culbreth lobby and theater is through the set of double doors to the left at the front entrance of the building. The theater can also be entered using the box office entrance (the right set of doors). To enter the theater from the box office, use the hallway beside the theater, following the tiled floor. A side door provides access to the theater. Ushers will assist those in need of assistance. Free headsets are available to assist people with hearing impairments. Request them at the concession stand. Accessible restrooms are in the Culbreth lobby.

Helms

The Helms is the smaller theater within the drama building. To enter, use the box office entrance (right set of 5 doors). Seating in the Helms varies with the production. Wheelchair and companion seating is available for each performance. Headsets are not available; however, the theater itself is much smaller, thus persons who have hearing impairments may be able to hear the actors. Ask an usher to direct you to the restroom behind the Helms as steps block access from the Helms to the main entrance in the Culbreth lobby.
