Indiana Avenue is NO LONGER under construction, and is now open both ways.
Free parking available in the lots west of the Walker Theater, marked in the map below as lots A - D. Accessible parking available in lot A. Lot 92 is available for overflow parking.
Parking is still free, but lot entry has changed. The Urban League and the Madam Walker Legacy Center share a parking lot. Due to the Cultural Trail expansion along Indiana Avenue and parking lot resurfacing, the lot entrance near the MWLC building is closed.
The sidewalk is open in front of the Walker. Use it to enter the building through the main theatre entrance under the large marquee. This entrance is wheelchair accessible.

Encore presentation! Black Women’s Readers Theatre performs the original script “Dissin’ Black Women: The Stories Behind Our Disappearance, Dismissal, Disqualification, Disenfranchisement and Disposability.”
Readers theatre is a style of performance in which the actors present dramatic readings of narrative material without costumes, props, scenery or special lighting. Actors use only scripts and vocal expression to help the audience understand the story. Our production of "Dissin' Black Women" will be performed by these community leaders:
Mercédès Cannon
Tabitha Hardy
Ronda Henry
Nouri McLucas
Khalilah Marbury
Jennifer Thorington Springer
While this is an event that centers Black women, all are welcome to attend. Join us in person Monday, Sep. 24, at 6 p.m. at the Madam Walker Legacy Center.
