Angus Bowmer Theatre Seating Guide for "August Wilson's Jitney"
Best Value Tickets (Budget-Friendly & Great Views)
HOUSE Section, Row O ($121/ticket): Excellent mid-theater seating with clear sightlines to the thrust stage. Row O is elevated enough to see over actors during floor-level scenes while maintaining intimacy. These seats often sell out first due to their ideal price-to-view ratio.
Sweet Spot (Premium Visibility & Balanced Price)
- MAIN FLOOR, Rows H-K ($275-$350 range): Center-section seats in these rows offer the "director's view" - close enough to see facial expressions but far enough to take in full stage compositions. Ideal for Shakespearean staging.
- HOUSE Section, Rows M-P: Slightly better elevation than floor seats with minimal head movement required. Perfect for three-quarter thrust stage views.
Higher Tier Options (Premium Experience)
MAIN FLOOR, Row N ($444/ticket): Front-center seating with immersive proximity to actors. You'll feel part of the performance in this intimate 600-seat venue. Note: First 3 rows may require slight neck tilting for full-stage views.
View Comparison
- HOUSE Section (Elevated): Better for viewing complex blocking and choreography. Seats further back (Rows Q-T) may lose some facial detail.
- MAIN FLOOR (Orchestra): Superior for emotional connection with actors. Side sections beyond 45-degree angles may have occasional obscured moments.
Pro Tips for Angus Bowmer Theatre
- The thrust stage means 70% of seats are within 12 rows - even "rear" seats feel close.
- Avoid extreme far left/right in first 5 rows to prevent missing upstage action.
- House right seats often have slightly better availability than house left.
- For "Jitney," center-left seating optimizes views of the taxi stand set piece.
Our Recommendation
The HOUSE Section, Row O tickets at $121 present outstanding value for "Jitney," combining affordability with one of the theater's most balanced perspectives. If seeking premium immersion, splurge on MAIN FLOOR Row N's center seats - though we suggest waiting until 48hrs before showtime when premium prices often dip 10-15%.
