Angus Bowmer Theatre Seating Guide for "August Wilson's Jitney"
Best Value Tickets (Under $80)
- House Left Door 5, Row O ($68): Side balcony seating with slightly angled stage views. Great for budget-conscious theatergoers who don't mind a partial side perspective.
- House Right Door 4, Row L ($68): Mirror of Left Door 5 but one section closer to center. Row L offers better elevation than back rows.
Sweet Spot Tickets (Good Availability & Price)
- House Left Door 5, Row M ($77): Same section as our budget pick but one row closer. The $9 upgrade is worth it for improved sightlines.
- House Right Door 6, Row O ($74): Slightly more centered than Door 5 sections while staying under $80. Watch for potential overhang from upper balcony.
Higher Tier Options (Better Views, Higher Price)
- House Left Door 1, Rows G-H ($100-108): Prime side orchestra seating. Row H ($100) offers exceptional value for near-center views at this price point.
- HOUSE Section, Row O ($121): True center balcony seating. Best overall perspective in the theater at mid-range pricing.
Premium & Last-Minute Options
- MAIN FLOOR Rows N-O ($444-484): Front orchestra VIP seating. Only recommended for special occasions - these premium prices are 4-7x higher than balcony seats with similar sightlines from center HOUSE section.
Seating Chart Insights
- Door Sections (1-6): Numbering starts from center (Door 1) moving outward. Odd numbers are left, even are right. Lower numbers mean better centrality.
- Row Guidance: In balcony, Rows K-M offer the best elevation-to-distance ratio. Orchestra rows G-J are the sweet spot for floor seating.
- View Differences: House Left/Right seats have 15-25° angled views while HOUSE section is dead center. Main Floor loses some stage depth perception in exchange for proximity.

- Budget Pick: House Right Door 4 Row L ($68) - best combination of price and decent viewing angle
