The Philadelphia Parking Authority's Autopark at Jefferson at 14 S. 10th Street is the closest parking garage to our theater. One of two elevators are out of service as of 10/3/26, so you may wish to budget a little extra time when using this garage.

Accessibility at St. Stephen's Theater

We regret that access to both the performance space and restrooms at St. Stephen's Theater requires navigating a flight of stairs. Unfortunately, no elevator service is available. We are able to accommodate patrons with early seating or other special needs. When you arrive at the theater, please let the house manager on duty know how we may assist you.
