Visiting Palace Theatre Newark

I along with my husband Bob and or my PA’s visit the Palace Theatre regularly either to watch shows and/or to have a cup of coffee and a slice of cake at 19 to 20, I am a full-time electric wheelchair user due to cerebral palsy, so I’m sure you can imagine having good access for patrons with disabilities is crucial.
