Ford’s Theatre reopened in February 2009 following its most extensive renovation since 1968. Visitors from across the nation and around the world can now experience conveniences and luxuries previously not available at the theatre. These include: new seats; upgraded sound and lighting systems; improved heating and air conditioning systems; renovated restrooms; enhanced accessibility with elevators to the various levels; a spacious new lobby with concessions and an entrance to the theatre; a new “parlor” for special events; and updated stage capabilities for casts and crews. These upgrades have made the theatre more audience-friendly while enhancing accessibility.
