Driving and Parking: Medford is a car-oriented city, and most patrons arrive by car. Street parking, nearby public parking structures, and downtown lots serve the area around the theater. For popular performances, arriving early helps with parking and gives you time to walk to the box office or entrance before the show.

Transit: The theater is located in downtown Medford, which is served by Rogue Valley Transportation District bus routes. The downtown area functions as a central hub, though transit options are more limited than in larger metro areas.

Rideshare: Rideshare and taxi service operate in Medford, and downtown drop-off and pickup are straightforward because of the theater’s central location. After a well-attended show, allowing a few extra minutes for pickup can make departure easier.

Nearby Accommodation: Downtown Medford and the surrounding area offer hotels and lodging, with additional options near Interstate 5 a short drive away. Staying downtown gives you the simplest access to the theater, dining, and nearby parking.

Seating Levels: Seating is arranged across the main orchestra floor and a balcony level, consistent with a restored historic proscenium theater. The orchestra places guests closest to the stage, while the balcony provides an elevated view over the room.

Accessibility: Accessible seating and assistance services are available. The box office can be contacted regarding access and assistance needs.

Getting to Your Section: Staff and ushers assist patrons with seating, and a seating chart is available through the box office. Because the theater is compact, finding your section is simpler than at a large multi-level venue, though balcony seating does involve stairs.

Getting Ready for Your The Craterian Theater at The Collier Center Event

• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Give yourself time to park in downtown lots or on-street spaces, walk to the theater, and reach the box office before the performance begins.
