Confederation Centre of the Arts

About this venue

Confederation Centre of the Arts fills a downtown Charlottetown city block and is currently using the accessible Queen Street box-office entrance while the Richmond Street side is under renovation. Allow extra time for weekday matinees, when downtown parking is most difficult, and enter at Queen and Grafton while construction continues.

Seats & views

Accessibility

Sobey Family Theatre’s first five auditorium rows can be removed for a deeper stage, so its front layout varies by production. The Mack’s diagram identifies tables rather than individual chair numbers. Accessible allocations are limited and should be arranged at booking. Infrared listening receivers and boosters are available from front-of-house staff on a first-come basis.
