- IndyFringe | The Bottleworks District parking garage – 824 Massachusetts Avenue
- The District Theatre | Penrose building parking garage, access off of North Street
- The Athenaeum |. Old National Center parking lot – Access off of North Street
Due to the high volume of audience members, and small performance venues, masks are currently required indoors, whenever adequate social distancing is not possible. Masks will be available at the box office if you do not have one with you.
