Frequently Asked Questions
-
There is ample street parking in front of the venue on S. Glover Street and on the E. Second Avenue cross street. Should those locations be all taken, there is a public parking lot half a block down E. Second behind The Confluence.

Despite being a 100-year-old building, The Merc Playhouse is wheelchair and walker accessible ... though there is a bit of a bump at the threshold. Our passageways are wide enough to accommodate a motorized wheelchair. We have an area in the front row where there is no step up & seating can be reconfigured for those who travel with their own. The restrooms are also spacious enough to accommodate wheelchair users and/or folks who need help from an attendant.
We're always happy to host those with special needs — please contact us if you want to discuss accommodations in advance. -
Tickets for most shows are available for presale. The box office opens 30 minutes prior to each performance (if it is a performance where tickets are being sold) and any remaining tickets will be available for purchase at that time. Readers' Theater performances are typically admission-by-donation events. Tickets for events held at The Merc by other groups are handled by those groups.
