Angus Bowmer Theatre Seating Guide for "August Wilson's Jitney"

Best Value Tickets (Under $80)

For budget-conscious theatergoers, these sections offer excellent views at affordable prices:

• House Left/Right Door Rows O ($68-72): Side balcony seating with slightly angled but clear stage views. Rows O are elevated enough to see over heads, though you'll turn slightly toward center stage. Best value for groups (4-6 tickets available).
• House Right Door 4 Row K ($77): Closer to center than other Door sections, with only 2 seats available - ideal for couples.

Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price)

• House Left/Right Door Rows M ($77-96): Mid-balcony seating with improved sightlines over Row O. The $77 tickets are particularly well-priced for this premium row location.
• HOUSE Section Row O ($121): True center balcony seating with perfect frontal views. Only 2 seats remain at this price point.

Higher Tier Options

For those prioritizing proximity over price:

• MAIN FLOOR Rows N-O ($444-484): Premium orchestra seating with unbeatable closeness to the stage. These are donor-level tickets normally reserved for festival supporters.

Viewing Differences by Section

• Door Sections (Left/Right 4-6): Angled 30-45 degrees toward center. Right side may have slightly better views for this production based on stage blocking.
• HOUSE Section: Perfectly centered with no viewing obstructions. The balcony overhang creates an intimate feel.
• MAIN FLOOR: Unparalleled actor proximity (you'll see facial expressions clearly) but may require some neck craning for full-stage views.

Expert Recommendations

• Best Overall Value: House Right Door 6 Row M at $77 - combines good price with excellent viewing angle.
• For Groups: House Left Door 5 Row O at $68 (4 seats) balances affordability and decent sightlines.
• Splurge-Worthy: HOUSE Row O at $121 offers the best "traditional theater" experience if center viewing is priority.
• Avoid Unless Front-Row Matters: MAIN FLOOR tickets are extremely overpriced for this production - better value exists in balcony.

Theater Layout Tips

The Angus Bowmer's thrust stage means 70% of seats are within 12 rows. Even balcony seats feel close, but:

• Rows A-C may have obstructed views during ground-level scenes
• Door sections require minimal head turning for center-stage action
• All seats have excellent acoustics - no bad sound spots

Price Alert

The $68-77 tickets represent 30-40% below typical resale prices for this acclaimed production. These are likely to sell quickly, especially the center HOUSE section seats.
