Southern Theatre

Open your ticket and confirm the event date, door time, seat or standing area, and ticket delivery instructions.

For Broadway or other high-profile shows at CAPA venues, one bag no larger than 16 × 16 × 8 inches is permitted. All guests and bags are subject to inspection. This stated size rule has an event scope; confirm the Southern Theatre show’s instructions instead of treating it as an unconditional rule for every performance.

Destination

Southern Theatre, 21 E Main St · Columbus, OH.

When to arrive

Allow about 45–60 minutes before the performance for parking, screening and finding your seating level. Confirm the actual event’s door time and ticket-help hours. Ask the house manager on arrival if you need an assisted-listening device, sensory bag or help reaching your reserved accessible seats.

Transit

Use Southern Theatre at 21 East Main Street by High Street and the Westin in downtown Columbus. The Columbus Commons Main Garage is across Main Street; the CAPA Ticket Center at 39 East State Street is a different destination. Check any COTA trip and its return against the current schedule.

Parking

CAPA recommends Columbus Commons Main Garage across Main Street from the Southern Theatre, with entrances on East Main and East Rich Streets. The published garage address is 55 East Rich Street, and cash and card are accepted; check current rates and closing times.

The Southern Theatre has no elevators. CAPA identifies orchestra row S as accessible seating and says all other seating requires stairs, including other orchestra rows. Contact the CAPA Ticket Center before buying if you need an appropriate accessible or transfer seat; do not assume a floor-level ticket avoids steps.
