Accessibility at the Barns

The Fringe Theatre Arts Barns stays warm during the winter and cool during the summer.

Air is filtered independently in each space, ensuring that you can breath comfortably.

Each entrance into and all theatres in the Fringe Theatre Arts Barns are wheelchair accessible; no stairs required.

Need a chair that’s a bit wider or without arms? Or maybe you’re bringing your own seat? We’ve got plenty of seating options to meet your needs, wherever you are at the Barns.

In accordance with Alberta legislation, certified service dogs can go anywhere their humans go. We ask that you keep your non-certified pets at home.

Our main box office and our three theatres in the Fringe Theatre Arts Barns are equipped with hearing loops (T-Coil Loops) for patrons with hearing loss. These loops transmit directly to a hearing aid or cochlear implant electromagnetically, with no extra equipment. To use the system:

1. Ask your hearing aid provider to activate your t-coil function.
2. When you arrive at the theatre, switch your hearing aid to your t-coil function and adjust the volume as needed.

Those without hearing aids can also utilize a portable headset receiver. Units are available to rent for free by emailing box office boxoffice@fringetheatre.ca and are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

The Fringe Theatre Arts Barns is in the heart of Old Strathcona, accessible by public and private transit.
