Alaska Center for the Performing Arts

The Center's Patron Information provides all the valuable information patrons need - from directions to the Center's conveniences like restrooms and coat checks, to outlining Center policies and procedures regarding performances - in order to make the most of their experiences at the Center. It is the Center's goal to provide a fully enjoyable and safe experience for all of our patrons. Our Vice President, front-of-house staff and ushers work together with our presenters in order to accomplish this, and to ensure that your visits to the Center are as positive and fulfilling as possible.

Accessible Services Program

The Alaska Center has an Accessible Services Program (ASP) to better serve patrons who experience disabilities and individuals with special needs. It is our goal to provide a fully enjoyable experience for all patrons. By providing these services, we hope that patrons with disabilities will have no hesitation in attending an event at the Center. The ASP exists to provide the best available seating to meet any individual's needs. The program may be used to order tickets to events, request special services, or for other assistance needed in order that an individual may more fully enjoy an event.
