Spring Break Camps | Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get to Presentation House Theatre?
Please refer to our Getting to Presentation House Theatre page on our website. It can be found here.
Is Presentation House Theatre accessible?
Our theatre is wheelchair accessible via the ramp off 4th Street, and there is an accessible washroom located in the lobby. There are designated accessible parking spots in our parking lot in front of the 3rd Street entrance.
To view our Visual Story, please click here.
Do you have gender-neutral washrooms?
Yes, we do!
PHT has chosen to have gender-neutral washrooms that may be accessed by any person, of any sex, gender, or gender identity, for the following reasons:
Our priority of being a safe place for everyone who walks through our doors means prioritizing the safety of those who are most vulnerable. In the case of washrooms, that is trans, non-binary, and gender non-conforming people who encounter real violence in bathrooms at the highest rates.
We recognize that you cannot tell by looking at someone what their gender identity is and do not want to force anyone to “out” themselves by assigning gender or sex to washrooms.
It further supports safety by allowing a parent, guardian, or carer of any sex or gender to accompany children or those who need support into any washroom.
We feel this is an important step in fostering the safe and inclusive society we want to live in.
Should any person prefer, there is a single-user bathroom on the second floor of the building that all are welcome to use.

Registration fees will be fully refunded for any programs that are cancelled by Presentation House Theatre.
