Accessibility & Diversity Statements

accessibility statement

At Story Parlor, we are dedicated to ensuring equal access and inclusivity for all guests. We strive to work with individuals on a case-by-case basis to accommodate their specific needs, considering ticket availability and the physical constraints of our facilities.

Our space has been designed to provide a welcoming environment for all. We offer ground-level entry to our wheelchair-accessible box office, performance space, and flexible seating areas. Our accessible restrooms are equipped with appropriate facilities. In case of emergencies, we have accessible emergency exits in place. Early seating is available. Clear and simple signage is posted throughout the space, with high-contrast, large print and images.

While the space does not have dedicated parking, we do provide detailed parking and public transportation instructions on every event page, as well as in all ticket confirmation emails. There is free residential parking directly to the left of the building, as well as in the surrounding neighborhood, along with two paid parking lots within a one-block vicinity.

Although animals are generally not permitted, we make an exception for guide dogs and service animals.

If you require any accommodations during your visit, please inform us in advance, and we will do our utmost to ensure your needs are met to the best of our ability.

We will provide trigger warnings for any content that warrants it, along with the option to retreat to a designated quiet area in the back room.


Diversity and Inclusion Statement

At Story Parlor, we are committed to fostering a culture of diversity, inclusion, and belonging. We believe that creativity thrives in an environment where individuals from all backgrounds, identities, and perspectives are welcomed, valued, and empowered.

We recognize that diversity encompasses a range of dimensions, including but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, ability, socioeconomic status, and cultural background. We celebrate the unique strengths, experiences, and contributions that each person brings to our community and recognize the power of diverse perspectives, as they inspire innovation and broaden our understanding.

We strive to create a safe and inclusive space where everyone feels respected, heard, and supported. We actively challenge biases, stereotypes, and discrimination, working towards dismantling systemic barriers that impede equal participation and representation. We cultivate an environment that promotes curiosity, empathy, and cultural humility, allowing us to expand our horizons, challenge assumptions, and gain a deeper understanding of the diverse world we live in.

By embracing diversity and fostering inclusion, we aim to empower those in the community to be catalysts for positive change in their own spheres of influence. Together, we can create transformative experiences that celebrate the richness of human differences and unlock the full potential of our collective creativity.
