Historical buildings can be required to meet ramp standards if a non altering approach could be used. That stage is quite wide and not terribly long, there’s no reason they couldn’t use an l shaped detachable ramp that friction clamps to the interior stage. Here’s an example of one such modular system.

Or a free standing floor lift that can be flush to the stage without even requiring any damage to the building to attach so yes, the ada does still apply.

Here’s three different guides and companies that do historic accessibility.

I will give you this he didn’t check in advance based on the comment of the dance hall’s spokesperson however the ada clearly stated public facilities must have an accessibility plan and that would include stage access because the stage is part of the public facilities.

Had a beaver come onto our land once. Destroyed around 20 trees and then left. Many were partially chewed and just left standing there dying. Had to cut them all down. Beavers can be total POS animals.

Not saying he wasn’t an idiot to do this but I am saying beavers aren’t the cuddly little sweethearts people think they are.

My yard got wrecked by a front loader during an outdoor project. I just reseeded with clover. Had a few other bare spots from lack of rain and raked up the soil and seeded there. It hasn't taken over everything yet, but that's the goal. Bonus is that the seeds are incredibly cheap (or were, haven't looked recently).
