Courtyard Theater | "Hymn" Seating Chart & Ticket Guide – Best Views & Value
Best Value Tickets (Price + View Balance)
- Main Floor Left/Right - Row K ($104): Excellent mid-range pricing with only 11 rows total in this intimate theater. Side sections still offer clear stage views with minimal angle distortion.
- Main Floor Left/Right - Row C ($106): Just $2 more than Row K but 7 rows closer. Fantastic value for near-front seating without center section premium.
Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price)
- Main Floor Center - Row K ($118): The most affordable center section seats. Perfect for those who prioritize straight-on views but want to save $15+ over closer center rows.
- Main Floor Left/Right - Row A ($106-119): Front row side sections offer incredible proximity (actors will be just feet away) at reasonable prices. Best for immersive experiences.
Higher Tier Options (Not the best deals)
- Main Floor Center - Row D ($119): Only 4 rows back but carries a 12% premium over Row K center. Worth it if you absolutely need center views.
View Comparison
- Center vs Side Sections: Center provides perfectly straight views (ideal for set-heavy productions), while side sections offer more angled but often more intimate actor proximity.
- Row A Warning: First row may require slight upward head tilt but puts you in the actors' eyeline - some patrons love this immersion, others prefer sitting higher.
- Row K Advantage: Elevated enough to see over actors' heads during floor-level scenes while maintaining close connection in this 200-seat venue.
Premium or Last-Minute Options
- Consider waiting for potential last-minute center section releases if your schedule is flexible.
- Groups of 4+ should grab the available Row K side blocks - excellent togetherness value.
Our Recommendation
For "Hymn" (a intimate, character-driven play), we recommend the Main Floor Left/Right Row C ($106) tickets. You'll be close enough to see facial expressions clearly while saving $12+ per ticket versus comparable center seats. The slight angle actually enhances the theatrical experience in this three-quarter thrust space.
Pro Tips
- All seats are within 35 feet of the stage in this venue - there are truly no bad sightlines
- Side sections often have better actor interaction in Shakespearean-style spaces
- Row A side seats frequently include accidental actor-audience moments (a bonus for some)
