Regina Hall is part of Regina Pacis Church, which is building a wheelchair ramp into the church. The ramp is expected to be completed by November 2006. The Pastor of Regina Pacis Church has advised us that patrons of Regina Opera are invited to use this ramp to enter Regina Hall via the church, under the following conditions:
1. The ramp will be open to Regina Opera patrons on Sundays only.
2. The ramp leads into the front lobby of the church. To enter Regina Hall, turn right and go through the alcove, past the bathroom. There will still be three steps to climb between the alcove and Regina Hall. Although this is not feasible for heavy wheelchairs, our staff will be happy to assist in lifting a person in a lighter wheelchair up and down these three steps.
3. It is also anticipated that Regina Pacis Church will provide a wheelchair-accessible bathroom in the alcove, but to reach it from Regina Hall, one will have to go down the three steps. Again, our staff will be happy to assist a person in a lighter wheelchair.
4. We strongly suggest that wheelchair patrons make arrangements in advance to ensure that staff is available to assist you. Please specify the size of wheelchair you use. In addition, a limited number of seats may be reserved for those accompanying wheelchair patrons. Please call (718) 232-3555 to make these arrangements and reservations.
