Copaken Stage at KCRep

Patrons park free in the garage beneath the building at 13th and Walnut, levels two through five, entering from Main or Walnut between 13th and 14th. A performance-specific QR code supplied in advance is scanned at the garage gate to obtain a prevalidated ticket; keep this ticket for exit. The QR code cannot be printed and must be displayed digitally. Accessible parking sits on level P2 beside the elevators.

From the garage, take the elevator to lobby level L and walk past the waterfall feature toward Copaken Stage. If using public transit, the Power & Light streetcar stop is one block south; walk north to reach the venue entrance.

The theatre enforces no formal dress code but requires shirts and shoes. A light sweater or jacket may prove useful inside the auditorium. Mobile tickets appear by email and should be ready on your device. Duration and intermission details, along with any sensitivity warnings, are posted at auditorium entrances and included in show information materials.

KCRep’s mobile tickets can also be accessed through the purchaser’s online account. The company allows them to be printed at home for visitors who prefer paper. That option applies to the performance ticket, not the garage QR code: the parking code must remain digital. Keep those two arrival documents separate so you have the right one ready at each checkpoint.

Wheelchair seating at Copaken Stage is located in rows A, J and T. Coordinate seat purchases or exchanges through Ticketing Services at tickets@kcrep.org or 816-235-2700 to ensure proper placement. The building offers accessible doors, restrooms, drinking fountains and elevators, though elevator presence does not guarantee that every individual seat is reachable without steps.

Assistive listening devices are available through Ticketing Services or the house manager before curtain. Braille and large-print programs can be requested from Front of House staff. Audio description may be arranged in advance, and ASL interpretation takes place at selected designated performances; consult the specific calendar to confirm availability.

Sensory kits wait at the coat check and include noise-canceling headsets, sunglasses, a weighted blanket and fidget items. Experience guides are offered for both the Copaken Stage and the separate Spencer Theatre. Special-effects warnings appear in advance materials and on-site signage.

Lobby concessions open one hour before each performance and offer a full bar and light snacks. Drinks may be carried into the theater, but food must be finished in the lobby. Silence phones before curtain. Production-specific age and content guidance is available through Ticketing Services at tickets@kcrep.org or 816-235-2700.

Mobile tickets display the correct performance date, time and venue—Copaken Stage or Spencer Theatre—so verify details before traveling. Order questions should be directed to the actual seller shown on your confirmation. Kansas City Repertory Theatre's Ticketing Services handle direct purchases and access coordination at tickets@kcrep.org or 816-235-2700; do not assume resale platforms share the same support channels.

For a direct KCRep booking, the purchaser’s account provides another way to retrieve tickets. If an order was placed elsewhere, bring that seller’s confirmation and use its support contact for delivery problems. Accessible-seat arrangements remain a separate conversation with Ticketing Services, even when a parking validation has already been obtained.

Find a staff member in the lobby if you arrive after curtain. House management controls late seating and may place latecomers at the back or hold entry until intermission. The lobby lights blink five minutes before the performance begins or intermission ends, signaling that guests should return to their seats. Check the duration and intermission information at the entrance before settling in. Photography is permitted before the show, but cameras and recording devices must be put away once the performance begins.
