Parking: Street parking is available in the area for free after 6pm, but often the area gets crowded on the weekends. The One City Center Parking Garage is next door to the theater, and there's an open pay lot across the street as well. More parking garages are available if you're willing to walk a block or two (the Temple St garage, or the garage by the Holiday Inn).
