Shumka: Back to our Roots
!
As a result of escalator upgrade construction at the Jubilee Auditorium, there will be no escalator access between main floor to the basement, and 1st balcony to 2nd balcony for this engagement. These improvements will bring the benefit of upgraded facilities; however, we do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience and understanding. Please note there is no elevator to the 2nd Balcony. Should the use of the stairs pose a problem, please take extra time to arrive at the theatre as the elevator to 1st Balcony may be busier than usual.
