ACCESSIBILITY

There is access to the venue and primary function areas as defined by ADA requirements. The theater is on the National Register for Historic Places and restoration efforts are being made to improve accessibility throughout the entire venue.

The Jayhawk Theatre makes every effort to accommodate people with disabilities. Wheelchair access is made through the exterior double doors at 720 SW Jackson. From there, a ramp will get you to ticketing and entry to both venues. Please let us know if you need assistance with our original historic theatre auditorium entry, which is navigable but is not ADA compliant. Please alert us if you think you need assistance getting in and out of the auditorium. The Jayhawk Gallery and bathrooms are 100% ADA compliant. Please see diagram.
