Brooklyn
Center has installed a variety of aids to assist our patrons
with disabilities in gaining access to and enjoying the
performances. Our staff has been specially
trained to assure that patrons in need of these assists can
utilize them to their best advantage.
If
you have special requirements, by all means contact us at
718-951-4600 x3322
as
far in advance as possible
so that we might be better prepared to meet your particular
needs.
Accessible locations for patrons with wheelchairs
are available for both single ticket and subscription ticket
holders. Along with advanced notice, we recommend that patrons
using wheelchairs be accompanied by a companion to provide
assistance. Seating for one accompanying patron is available
next to a wheelchair space. Additional guests in your party
will be seated as near as possible.
The Walt Whitman Theatre wheelchairs. ADA
parking spaces are located near wheelchair ramps along the
outside of the building. Parking attendants will direct
patrons who will be using wheelchairs to designated ADA parking
spaces. There are a number of transfer seats on the isles
for patrons with wheelchairs. These seats allow easy
access from the wheelchair to the seat, so the patron who
chooses to do so, may sit in the theatre seat during the
performance.
Please note: Due to major construction on campus,
wheelchair access to the New Workshop Theatre is no longer
available.
 
Restrooms that can
accommodate wheelchairs are accessible from all wheelchair
designated areas.
Push-button operated doors are located
near the box office windows.
Our
usher staff will be happy to escort and aid patrons who request
assistance to and from their seating location.
Special Note: During the demolition of the
Gershwin wing of the Performing Arts complex and the
construction of the new Tow Center for the Performing Arts,
there will be no wheelchair access to the New Workshop Theatre
in Whitman Hall. We apologize for this temporary
inconvenience. |
