Cantey V. Sutton Theatre | Seating Chart & Seat Views Guide – Best Seats & Tips

Discover the Best Seats at Raleigh Little Theatre’s Intimate Venue

The Cantey V. Sutton Theatre, part of Raleigh Little Theatre, is a cherished 300-seat venue known for its intimate atmosphere and community-focused performances. Whether you're attending a play, musical, or comedy show, understanding the seating chart ensures an optimal experience.

Seating Chart Overview

• Orchestra (Front Rows): Closest to the stage, offering clear views but slightly steep angles for front-row seats.
• Center Sections: Balanced sightlines and sound—ideal for most performances.
• Side Sections: Slightly obstructed views at extreme angles but often more affordable.
• Rear Orchestra/Balcony: Elevated for better visibility, though farther from the stage.

Best Seats for Different Events

• Plays/Dramas: Rows 5–10 (center orchestra) for full stage visibility.
• Musicals: Front balcony for a panoramic view of choreography.
• Comedy: Side orchestra near the aisle for a relaxed vibe.

Seat Views & Obstructions

The theatre’s thrust stage means side seats may miss some action. Avoid extreme far-left/right seats for plays with heavy staging. Balcony seats provide a clear overhead view but lack proximity.

VIP & Accessibility

• VIP: Limited premium front-row seats with occasional meet-and-greet access.
• Accessibility: Wheelchair-accessible seating in the rear orchestra and balcony.
