Angus Bowmer Theatre Seating Guide for "August Wilson's Jitney"
Best Value Tickets (Budget-Friendly with Solid Views)
- HOUSE Section, Row O ($121/ticket) - Excellent mid-range option with clear stage sightlines. Slightly elevated for optimal viewing angles without premium pricing.
Sweet Spot (Best Balance of Price & Experience)
- MAIN FLOOR, Row N ($444/ticket) - Center-section seating with immersive proximity to the stage. Perfect for catching nuanced performances in this intimate 600-seat venue.
Higher Tier Options (Premium Locations)
- MAIN FLOOR, Row O ($484/ticket) - Front-center positioning (typically rows N-P are considered "golden circle" at Bowmer). About 20 feet from the thrust stage - you'll see facial expressions clearly.
Viewing Differences by Section
- HOUSE vs MAIN FLOOR: HOUSE offers elevated sightlines (better for viewing stage pictures), while MAIN FLOOR provides actor proximity (ideal for emotional connection with performances).
- Row Considerations: At Bowmer, even back rows (like O) feel close due to the theatre's intimate design. Front rows may require slight head movement for thrust stage action.
Pro Tips for "Jitney"
- This production uses the full thrust stage - center sections (like MAIN FLOOR N/O) provide the most balanced viewing.
- Consider HOUSE section if you prefer taking in the full stage picture of Wilson's ensemble scenes.
- For best acoustics (critical for Wilson's dialogue), avoid extreme far side seats.
Last-Minute Options
- Check for day-of-show releases of premium seats (often at original prices)
- Weeknight performances sometimes have better availability
Our Recommendation
For most attendees, the HOUSE Row O tickets offer outstanding value at nearly 75% less than comparable MAIN FLOOR seats while still delivering excellent sightlines. If budget allows, upgrade to MAIN FLOOR Row N for the definitive "Jitney" experience - you'll feel immersed in Wilson's Pittsburgh taxi stand setting.
