We are thrilled to announce that we are installing a wheelchair/accessible lift.
November 2025
We are thrilled to announce that we are installing a wheelchair/accessible lift which will connect our lower lobby to our auditorium. Additional upgrades include adding an accessible bathroom, as well as an exterior ramp to ensure full accessibility for our audience members.
We want to thank the Acton Community Preservation Committee, the residents of Acton who approved our funding at Acton Town Meeting, the Massachusetts Cultural Council(1), and the many Theatre III donors who have contributed towards it. This project would not be happening without all of your support.
We anticipate that this project will be completed this winter; check this page for updates.
(1) Funding for this project has been provided by the Massachusetts Cultural Facilities Fund, a program of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, administered through a collaborative arrangement between MassDevelopment and the Mass Cultural Council.
