About

City Theatre Company is an independent theater company on Pittsburgh's South Side, describing itself as a four-building cultural campus. It runs two performance spaces, and the site gives both the same address of 1300 Bingham Street in its own event data: the Mainstage, which has reserved seating and two published configurations called Proscenium and Thrust, and the Lillie Theatre, which is entirely general admission. The company states that parking, curbside assistance upon request, accessible entrances, accessible seating, accessible restrooms and an elevator are available at both of its venues, and that assistive listening devices are available at both. It provides its own patron parking for $10 in a lot at 1317 Bingham Street, across from the theatre entrance.

The detail stops there for the Lillie, but the Mainstage has one unusually helpful document: an official social story that walks through the route, describing entry through the big red doors into a gray hallway with the box office at the end, a large lobby with a concession stand, two large bathrooms plus a private accessible bathroom, an auditorium upstairs, and an elevator across from the staircase with button 2 for the theater level. None of that detail is published for the Lillie Theatre, so do not assume it carries across.

Getting To and From

Features	Information Available on Website	Available at Venue	Notes	Additional Info / Things to Know
On Site Parking Garage or Lot	Yes	Yes	City Theatre provides parking for $10 via lot access at 1317 Bingham Street, across from the theatre entrance. Season subscribers may buy parking vouchers that guarantee parking for each performance. Present your payment or voucher to the attendant on entry, or on exit if no attendant is on site before the show.	One caution worth planning around: if there are only enough spaces for subscribers holding pre-paid vouchers on a given performance day, then only those cars will be admitted, so a single ticket buyer is not guaranteed a space. Accessible parking spaces are never mentioned, counted or located for this lot, even though the company lists Parking among its accessibility features.
Drop Off/Pick Up Lanes/ Ride Share	Yes	Yes	Curbside Assistance upon request is listed among the accessibility features available at both City Theatre venues. Ushers are available for assistance at every performance.	That is the whole of it. The company describes no drop off lane, no pick up zone and no ride share point, gives no location for the curbside assistance, and sets no notice period for requesting it. Ask the Box Office on 412-431-2489 when booking.
Off site Parking
Accessible Entrance	Yes	Yes	Accessible Entrances are listed among the features available at both City Theatre venues. At the Mainstage, the published route runs through the big red doors and down a gray hallway to the lobby, with the Box Office at the end of the hallway.	The accessible entrance is asserted as a bare bullet with no detail attached. No page identifies which door is the accessible one, whether it differs from the main doors, or whether any entrance is step-free. The red doors route above comes from the Mainstage social story and applies to the Mainstage only; no entrance is described for the Lillie Theatre at all.
Site Map/Floorplan	Yes	Yes	A two page seating chart PDF is published for the Mainstage, with a Proscenium layout on page one and a Thrust layout on page two. Wheelchair symbols are printed on row AA, the front row of the rear bank, at seats AA 1 to 6 on one side and AA 16 to 21 on the other. There is no seating chart and no floor plan for the Lillie Theatre, which is general admission.	Two warnings about that chart. It carries no legend, no caption and no seat count, so the meaning of the symbol is never stated in words. And an older detailed seating chart still linked from Mainstage production pages marks a different set of seats, AA 1 to 4 and AA 20 to 23, so the two official charts disagree with each other. Treat the symbols as chart markings rather than a written commitment, and confirm the actual seats with the Box Office.

Street Level Access and Automatic Doors

Use of Mobility Aids	Yes	Yes	Ushers are available for assistance at every performance, and curbside assistance is offered upon request at both venues. Assistive Listening Devices are available at both City Theatre venues, with headsets requested by speaking to Box Office Representatives or House Managers. If a wheelchair location is desired, the company will remove a fixed seat before you arrive when you tell the Box Office at the time of purchase.	Production pages list a fuller set of services as icons: Audio Described, Braille, Open Captioned, Large Print, Wheelchair Seating, Signed and Assistive Listening, with the company's own note that all services may not be available at all performances. No advance notice period is published for any of them, and the strongest wording anywhere is upon request or at the time of purchase. No loaner wheelchair is described, and there is no service animal policy on the site. For additional needs, the company names Katie Trupiano at ktrupiano@citytheatrecompany.org.
Accessible Seating (Theater)	Yes	Yes	Accessible Seating is listed as available at both City Theatre venues. To use it, notify the Box Office Assistant at the time of purchase so that the fixed seat can be removed before you arrive at the theatre. Ushers are available for assistance at every performance.	The number of accessible seats and any companion seating arrangement are never stated in words for either space. The Mainstage chart marks row AA, but the two official charts disagree on which AA seats, and neither carries a legend. The Lillie Theatre is entirely general admission with no chart at all, so there are no assigned accessible seats to select there. Because the seat removal has to be arranged in advance, book by phone on 412-431-2489 rather than online if you need a wheelchair position.

Onsite Accessibility

Features	Information Available on Website	Available at Venue	Notes	Additional Info / Things to Know
Restrooms	Yes	Yes	Accessible Restrooms are listed among the features available at both City Theatre venues. At the Mainstage the location is published: the restrooms sit off the big gray hallway, and there are two large bathrooms as well as a private, accessible bathroom.	That location detail comes from the Mainstage social story and belongs to the Mainstage only. No restroom is described for the Lillie Theatre. No changing table, family restroom or all-gender restroom is mentioned for either space.
Elevators	Yes	Yes	An Elevator is listed among the features available at both City Theatre venues. Only the Mainstage has any detail: its auditorium is upstairs, the elevator is across from the staircase, and pressing button 2 takes you to the theater. If you need to leave during the play you can go back to the stairs or the elevator, and a house manager will help you return to your seat.	Two gaps. The site never says how many levels the Mainstage elevator serves in total, and it never says what floor the Lillie Theatre is on or which levels a Lillie elevator reaches. Also note that the company's Accessibility landing page lists the same mobility features but drops Elevator from the list, while the wheelchair seating subpage includes it, so the two pages do not match.
On-Site Dining	Yes	Yes	City Theatre's bar, located in the Gordon Lounge, offers an array of concessions, refreshments, and specialty cocktails. The bar opens one hour prior to the show and is described as a good option for a light snack or drink while enjoying the lounge. The Mainstage also has a concession stand in its large lobby, which has tables and chairs.	No accessible counter height is described at the bar, and the site never says whether the Gordon Lounge serves the Lillie Theatre as well as the Mainstage.
Theater, Auditorium, etc. (Museum)	Yes	Yes	City Theatre Company runs two performance spaces on Pittsburgh's South Side, both given the address 1300 Bingham Street in the company's own event data. The Mainstage has reserved seating with two published configurations, Proscenium and Thrust, and its auditorium is upstairs. The Lillie Theatre is entirely general admission. The company describes itself as a four-building cultural campus, though it never names the buildings or says which holds which theater.	Capacity is not published for either space. Contacts: Box Office 412-431-2489, Group Sales 412-431-4400 extension 222, Development 412-431-4400 extension 226. For accessibility needs beyond the published services, Katie Trupiano at ktrupiano@citytheatrecompany.org. Note that the accessible performance dates listed on the site are from the 2025 to 2026 season and are now past, so check the current schedule rather than those listings.

Our Guidelines

1. Make Accessibility Info Easy to Find - Dedicated Website Accessibility Page

Clearly post detailed accessibility information online, covering parking, entrances, interior pathways, site plans, and more.

2. Include All Mobility Devices

Consider walkers, canes, crutches — not just wheelchairs. Provide specifics for a variety of mobility needs. Include people who use different devices in the conversation.

3. Go Beyond ADA Compliance

ADA is the minimum. Strive for real-world accessibility through thoughtful design and ongoing improvements.

4. Visibility = Accessibility

If disabled visitors aren't present, barriers may exist. Transparency and preparation are the keys to inclusion. Empower everyone to attend.
