Brought to you by the IUPUI Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion IMPORTANT EVENT ANNOUNCEMENTSIndiana Avenue is under construction due to the Cultural Trail expansion. It shouldn't cause too many headaches, just know that the street is now down to one lane each way and we may have to redirect foot traffic if the sidewalk is currently under construction. Free parking available in the lots west of the Walker Theater, marked in the map below as lots A - D. Accessible parking available in lot A. Lot 92 is available for overflow parking. Enter the building using the main marquee doors surrounding the bygone ticket booth. We will be in the main theatre space with the stage. OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION Masks are currently not required. Wear one if you like, but know other people sitting near you may not be masked. And of course, the no-mask policy is subject to the whims of COVID-19 and could change at anytime. Arrive early. Your BFF's coat can only save so many seats. Limited general-admission seating available. First come first served. No reserve seating. If you have a disability, no worries — we got you. The Walker Theatre has accessible entries, seating and restrooms. Email [email protected] if you need additional accommodations. Tickets are NOT required for entry, but we appreciate your free registration so as to properly plan and send you pertinent emails. And maybe a few relevant memes, but no promises.
