The KiMo Theater is a registered Historic Landmark built in 1927. Due to the original design and construction of the building, there are some limitations to accessibility.

The main floor of the building is fully compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act and is accessible to all audience members and performers.

Certain notable architectural and decorative elements in the upper portions of the building have been reproduced in the Lobby for easier viewing.

Wheelchair Access & Seating Areas

The KiMo has no elevator. The balcony and upper floors of the building may not be accessible to some persons due to the several flights of stairs.

There are four wheelchair and companion seating areas on the Main Floor.  Seating chart
