About

Pittsburgh CLO (Civic Light Opera) is a professional producing company best known for its summer Broadway musical season at the Benedum Center (719 Liberty Avenue) in downtown Pittsburgh's Cultural District, along with its long-running CLO Cabaret at the Greer Cabaret Theater (655 Penn Avenue). Because these are Pittsburgh Cultural Trust venues, accessibility is provided by the Trust: wheelchair-accessible seating with companion seats (arranged when you buy so fixed seats can be removed), wheelchairs for the trip from entrance to seat, elevators at the Benedum Center and Byham Theater, accessible restrooms at each venue, free infrared assistive listening devices, and real-time captioning plus large-print and Braille programs at select shows, with guide dogs welcome. For accessibility requests, contact the Pittsburgh CLO hotline at 412-281-2822 or the box office at 412-456-6666, ideally at least two weeks ahead.

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.
