Accessibility
Accessible Parking
Accessible parking is located in the Alfond Sports Center lot behind the Annie Russell Theatre, directly next to the Tiedtke Theatre and Dance Centre. Please allow your permit to show clearly in your windshield.
Entering the Theatre & Getting Seated
The Annie Russell offers two access ramps into our theatre. They are located on the left side of the building, around the corner from the Box Office. One ramp takes you up in front of the box office, and into the front entrance of the theatre doors. The second ramp allows you to enter directly into the theatre seating area. You will require an usher’s assistance to access this second door, as it is only opened from the inside.
The Tiedtke Theatre and Dance Centre offers an access ramp at the front of the building, taking you directly into the lobby of the Sally K. Albrecht Studio Theatre.
Both venues offer ample wheelchair accessible seating. In order for us to ensure your visit to the theatre is as enjoyable as possible, please share any requests for seating accommodations at the time you book your tickets.
Deaf and Hearing Impaired Patrons
Each production offers a performance with American Sign Language interpretation. Please view our Current & Upcoming Shows for the date and time. When booking your tickets, please select the seats labeled, "ASL Seating (Choose if you need accommodations)."
We have hearing assist devices for hearing impaired patrons. You may request these devices from the House Manager upon entering the theatre.
Getting Around
Directions and Parking
The Annie Russell Theatre is in the heart of campus, right next door to Knowles Memorial Chapel. The Tiedtke Theatre and Dance Centre is directly behind the Annie Russell, off Chase Avenue, in front of the Alfond Sports Center. We recommend our patrons use the Truist Parking Garage, located just off Park Avenue between Comstock and Lyman Avenues. The garage is guaranteed to have a space for you and costs $6 for up to four hours of parking.
From I-4 East Take the Fairbanks Avenue Exit 87. Turn right onto Fairbanks and continue East for almost 2 miles. Turn left onto Park Avenue. Turn right on Lyman Avenue. The Truist Parking Garage will be on your right.

After parking your car, exit the garage on the southeast corner (the corner closest to the Fairbanks/Interlachen intersection and farthest from Park Avenue). There you'll find a burgundy sign indicating our golf cart shuttle stop, Annie's Rapid Transit. The golf cart is available to transport you one hour prior to curtain and directly following the performance. If you're comfortable walking, cross Fairbanks at the large crosswalk and enter campus underneath the metal archway. The Annie Russell Theatre will be the second building on your left.
