Fred Kavli Theatre Seating Chart & Seat Views – Best Seats for Every Event

Your Guide to the Perfect Seat at Thousand Oaks' Premier Venue

The Fred Kavli Theatre at Bank of America Performing Arts Center is a 1,800-seat jewel of Ventura County, hosting Broadway shows, concerts, and cultural events. Known for its superb acoustics and intimate atmosphere, every seat offers a unique experience. Here’s how to navigate the seating chart for the best views and value.

Seating Chart Breakdown

• Orchestra (Sections A-C): Closest to the stage with unbeatable sightlines. Center seats (Rows D-J) are ideal for Broadway, while side sections may have slight angle limitations for dance performances.
• Terrace (Sections 101-103): Elevated front balcony with excellent overhead views. Perfect for symphony concerts where audio balance matters most.
• Balcony (Sections 201-203): Most affordable seats with surprisingly good visibility, though the upper rows feel more distant for intimate theater shows.

Best Seats by Event Type

• Concerts: Orchestra center (Rows E-H) for energy, Terrace front for acoustics
• Broadway: Orchestra left/right (Rows C-F) at 45° angles for full stage views
• Comedy: Terrace 101 for straight-on sightlines without neck strain

VIP & Accessibility

• Premium Box Seats offer private space with cocktail service (Boxes 1-4)
• Wheelchair-accessible spots in Orchestra rear with companion seating
• Hearing assistance devices available at guest services

Pro Tips

For tall patrons, avoid Terrace row ends with safety railings. Balcony front rows (Rows AA-BB) provide 80% of Orchestra quality at 50% cost. Check the venue’s virtual tour for exact sightlines from your considered section.
