Accessibility
At Ghostlight ETC, accessibility is important to us.
Before your arrival
Please contact us if you need assistance accommodating patrons in wheelchairs, patrons who are Deaf or hard of hearing, patrons who are blind, or individuals with other unique needs.
Due to the constraints of our building with its historic status, we do not have elevators. To enter the space with mobility limitations, the patron must be able to transfer out of their mobility device to ride a stair chair up to the first floor.
Ghostlight ETC staff is happy to assist in this process. Let us know your needs before arrival so we can prepare and help facilitate the best experience possible.
