Angus Bowmer Theatre Seating Guide for "August Wilson's Jitney"
Best Value Tickets (Budget-Friendly)
HOUSE Section - Row O ($121/ticket): Excellent mid-range option with clear sightlines to the thrust stage. Located just behind premium MAIN FLOOR seats, these offer 90% of the viewing quality at 40% lower cost. Perfect for theater lovers who want quality without premium pricing.
Sweet Spot (Best Balance of Price & View)
MAIN FLOOR - Row N ($444/ticket): The gold standard for Shakespearean performances. These center-section seats place you within 15 feet of the stage with perfect elevation (no neck strain). Actors' facial expressions are clearly visible - crucial for August Wilson's nuanced dialogue.
- View Tip: Rows K-N in MAIN FLOOR avoid the slight overhang from upper balconies.
- Pairing: Buy 2 tickets in Row N instead of 4 in Row O for an intimate, high-quality experience.
Higher Tier Options (Premium Experience)
MAIN FLOOR - Row O ($484/ticket): Front-center "director's view" seats. You'll hear every whisper and see props/details invisible to most audiences. The 20% price jump from Row N is justified for theater purists.
Key View Differences
- MAIN FLOOR vs HOUSE: MAIN FLOOR (Rows A-P) has tiered seating with 12" elevation changes between rows. HOUSE (Rows Q-AA) has more gradual 6" rises - bring cushion for extended comfort.
- Angus Bowmer Sightlines: The theatre's thrust stage means side sections (if available) still offer 180° views, unlike traditional proscenium theaters.
- Acoustics Note: All listed seats fall within the "acoustic sweet spot" - no audio amplification needed in this intimate 600-seat venue.
Our Recommendation
For "Jitney's" powerful ensemble scenes, we recommend the MAIN FLOOR Row N tickets. At $444, they offer:
- Unobstructed view of the iconic jitney cab (central prop)
- Ideal distance to appreciate the Pittsburgh storefront set design
- Close enough to see the actors' eye movements during intense monologues
Last-Minute Strategy
If waiting: Check for HOUSE section releases 48hrs before showtime when subscriber holds are released. Ushers often upgrade empty MAIN FLOOR seats at intermission for polite attendees.
