If one is a "local"--and attending the theater on a weekday evening (& likely to use the public parking in the future)--it may make sense to "enroll" in the parking app (which allows one to pay for parking on one's phone). If one is an out-of-town "tourist," it probably doesn't. BRING PLENTY OF QUARTERS. It's well worth the visit to go to the Roundhouse (both production values, AND the performances, are top-notch). However, on my first visit (some years ago), I didn't have a way to pay to park. Eventually, I found a Starbuck barista (base of the structure) willing to exchange quarters for a five dollar bill. However, I experienced some nervous minutes while seeking change (& waiting in line behind caffeine-deprived evening commuters) imagining that the parking enforcement "police" might be ticketing my vehicle. Be prepared. If you're planning to park in the public parking structure on a weekday evening (& not using the app), I repeat: bring plenty of quarters.
There is a large civic parking garage across the street on Waverly place as well as a garage next door in the bank building that connects with Round House underground. The entrance is on Waverly Place off of East West Highway. The civic garage is free on weekends.
