Catherine B. Berges Theatre
Seating in the orchestra level rows A–E is accessible via a wheelchair lift directly across from the lobby elevators on Level 1. The entry level of the theatre has seats that can be removed with advance notice to accommodate patrons in wheelchairs, as well as seats with arms that lift to allow patrons to transfer from wheelchairs.

Accessible restrooms are located south of the theatre, near the elevators on Level 1 (orchestra) and Level 2 (mezzanine).
Staenberg Performance Lab
Patrons will need to call the Box Office for accessible seating options in the Staenberg Performance Lab since the telescopic seating is not accessible for those with limited mobility.
Service Animals
Trained service dogs are welcome to accompany their owner into COCA. We recommend aisle seating for patrons with service dogs to allow sufficient room for them to sit or lay down. A service animal is defined as a dog that has been individually trained to do work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability.
