Ross Family Theatre at Kirkwood Performing Arts Center

The venue is at 210 East Monroe Avenue in Kirkwood, Missouri, with Kirkwood Performing Arts Center located at the corner of South Taylor and Monroe. For public transit, MetroBus and Amtrak both serve Kirkwood.

If you are driving, there are onsite, street, and public parking options nearby, but posted time limits apply in some areas. Station Plaza garage at Kirkwood Road and East Madison is covered and free all day. The St. Peter lot is not available during church or special events.

Ross Family Theatre is identified as a specific room within the broader performing arts center, so it is worth confirming your ticketed room or entrance details before you go.

STAGES’ accessibility guidance for its performances at the center describes a flat east entrance from parking, a west entrance with a gradual incline, and curb cuts. Accessible parking is available in front on Monroe and in the east lot on a first-come, placard basis, and there is also an east drop-off area. An elevator serves orchestra and mezzanine access from the left entrances.

Accessible restrooms are available on both levels, along with a family restroom. Assistive listening devices can be requested at the box office with ID about 30 minutes before the performance, and service animals are permitted. The venue also notes sensory tools are available with ID and that there is a quiet mezzanine area.

Some accessibility services, such as audio description and ASL, are offered for selected STAGES shows rather than every performance. The accessibility information does not indicate that every event at the theatre includes the same support, so it is best to verify the specific performance if you need a particular service.

For concessions, the venue offers snacks and drinks, and only drinks purchased at the venue may be brought into the theater if they have lids. A medical exception is mentioned in the accessibility notes, with guests directed to contact the venue in advance.
