Angus Bowmer Theatre Seating Guide for "August Wilson's Jitney"
Best Value Tickets (Budget-Friendly Picks)
HOUSE Section - Row O ($121/ticket): Excellent mid-range option with clear sightlines to the thrust stage. Located just behind premium seating, these seats offer great value with only minimal angle adjustments needed. Perfect for theatergoers who want good views without premium pricing.
Sweet Spot (Best Balance of Price & View)
MAIN FLOOR - Row N ($444/ticket): The gold standard for Shakespearean theater. Center-section seating in the Bowmer's intimate 600-seat space puts you within 15 rows of the action. You'll catch every facial expression while maintaining ideal perspective for stage pictures.
- View Advantage: Unobstructed sightlines to all three stage areas (thrust configuration means 180° viewing)
- Acoustics: Perfect distance for natural voice projection in this dialogue-heavy Wilson drama
Higher Tier Options (Premium Experience)
MAIN FLOOR - Row O ($484/ticket): Just one row closer than N but with noticeable difference in immersion. These seats place you at the ideal "actor eye contact" distance where performers' energies connect most powerfully with the audience.
Key Section Differences
- HOUSE vs MAIN FLOOR: HOUSE begins where the elevated MAIN FLOOR section ends (around Row M). MAIN FLOOR provides more consistent legroom and slightly better rake.
- View Considerations: Rows A-F may require more neck movement for thrust stage viewing. Rows G-O offer the most balanced perspectives.
- Accessibility: MAIN FLOOR has easier access for patrons with mobility concerns via side aisles.
Expert Recommendations
- For Budget-Conscious Buyers: The HOUSE Section tickets at $121 offer tremendous value - just 4 rows behind the premium MAIN FLOOR section.
- For Ultimate Experience: Splurge on MAIN FLOOR Row N - the price jump from HOUSE is justified by significantly better sightlines and actor connection.
- Group Tip: The 4-ticket blocks in MAIN FLOOR allow your party to sit together in this intimate venue where every seat matters.
Theatre Layout Pro Tips
The Angus Bowmer's thrust stage means 60% of seats are within 12 rows. While all seats have good views, center sections in MAIN FLOOR Rows K-O provide the ideal balance of proximity and perspective for Wilson's rich dialogue and the OSF's detailed staging.
