Description

The Centre du Théâtre d'Aujourd'hui is committed to the fundamental principles of universal accessibility. Both theatres have reserved areas for wheelchair users. Wider seats are also available on request. At Salle Michelle-Rossignol, they offer assistive devices for the hearing impaired (audio headsets). A selection of accessible performances (in french only) is also available on their web pages. The theater is equipped with an elevator for access to both halls. Companion tickets are free for anyone requiring assistance, and the CAL card is accepted. In front of the theater, a space is reserved for holders of the disabled parking sticker. A landing stage opposite the theater provides a secure area for people arriving by paratransit to disembark.
