Getting thereArrival timing, parking, transit and getting home
Localtime
When to arrive
The owner says the ticket/website time is doors, with the first set normally about an hour later; exact set times can change. Check your event rather than treating that interval as guaranteed. The box office opens two hours before performances, with Thursday/Friday 10 am–2 pm advance hours; these service hours are distinct from doors. Arrive earlier if your ticket includes first-come balcony seating.
Transit & the journey home
The theatre is at 110 East Main Street on Charlottesville’s pedestrian Downtown Mall. The owner recommends accessible drop-off at First Street and Water Street. The main auditorium and bathrooms are accessible; for GA or GA-floor/reserved-balcony shows, buy the preferred price level and contact 434-245-4980 for an accessible allocation. For fully reserved shows, use the ticket page’s accessible-seat filter and confirm companion needs.
Confirm return service and last departures for your event’s finish time.
Parking
Parking At A Glance
Parking difficulty
Off-site garage parking with a pedestrian final approach
- What to do
- The venue has no on-site parking and recommends Water Street Parking Garage in the 100/200 blocks of East Water Street, a short walk from the theatre. Its guidance warns that garages close; check the chosen garage’s current hours and full-stay rate before parking. No universal event price or included parking is confirmed.
- Best option
- Use the owner-recommended Water Street garage and finish on foot to 110 East Main Street. For the most convenient accessible approach, arrange drop-off at First Street and Water Street and coordinate the remaining pedestrian route with theatre staff.
- Avoid
- Do not navigate onto the pedestrian mall, assume a theatre ticket reserves a garage space, or leave the car past the facility’s posted closing time. Keep box-office opening hours separate from audience doors and allow time for the final walk.
