If you are parking to attend a performance, street parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis on Broadway Street, Zimpel Street, Newcomb Circle, Plum Street, Audubon Street, and Freret Street. Some nearby spaces and lots also use ParkMobile. Lots 1951 and 1952 are among the closest.
The Loyola University New Orleans RecPlex on Freret Street is also a short walk from the theatre, with parking available in lots 2482 and 2485. No matter where you park, please check all posted signage and avoid reserved spaces or restricted areas.
ADA Accessibility
Theatre and Dance venues at Tulane University are accessible to patrons with disabilities, including those with mobility or hearing access needs. We welcome all patrons and are happy to assist with accommodations.
Because our black box theatre configurations change with each performance, we recommend contacting the Box Office before your arrival if you need accessible seating or assistance entering or leaving the theatre. If you need an assistive listening device, please contact the Box Office in advance because supplies are limited.
