Parking
KCT has 8 dedicated parking spots that come with the building when booked, located by loading bay and stage door. Parking passes will be issued either when contract is sent, or upon arrival at the theatre. We also have space for one or two semi-trailers or buses outside of the loading bay doors, but this may interfere with the 8 spots. Parking requirements can be discussed at any time.
Ticketing
If Ticketmaster is not handling ticket sales the theatre does have a box office station in the foyer of the theatre that can be used for ticket sales the night of the performance. Staffing the box office is the responsibility of the renter as theatre rental does not include box office staff.
