COVID-19 Safety Protocols
At CTC, the safety of our patrons, students, artists, and staff is our highest priority.
We continue to monitor and follow the guidelines and recommendations from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) as we develop and refine our COVID-19 Safety Practices & Policies to ensure a safe and clean experience for everyone. We will continue to update our practices and plans as circumstances and guidelines change.

Parking
The Mia parking ramp adjacent to CTC is currently under renovation, and has limited availability. Please allow extra time for parking—we recommend the surface lots surrounding the building as the parking ramp is likely to fill up quickly!
Paid parking is available in three lots around the theatre. Free street parking is also available around CTC. Please make sure to check for any time or permit constraints.
Event parking is $10 and is in effect during all public performances. To pay for parking in the ramp, insert credit card upon arrival, and again when departing ramp. To pay for parking in the lots, enter license plate number and payment at pay station.
Please allow for an extra 20-30 minutes for parking to ensure that you can get to your seat in time for the start of the show.
Bus Parking
Buses may unload and pick up in the circle drive on 3rd Avenue South. Free street parking is available around CTC. We recommend buses park on 24th Street between Mia and the park. Buses may also park in the 25th Street lot, but parking rates will apply.
Visit by Bus
The 11 bus picks up and drops off at the corner of 24th Street and 3rd Avenue South, right in front of CTC’s building.
