Gia Maione Prima Foundation Studio Seating Chart & Seat Views Guide

Discover the Best Seats at Jay and Linda Grunin Center for the Arts

The Gia Maione Prima Foundation Studio at Jay and Linda Grunin Center for the Arts is an intimate, state-of-the-art venue known for its exceptional acoustics and immersive performances. Whether you're attending a jazz concert, theater production, or lecture, choosing the right seat enhances your experience.

Seating Chart Overview

The studio features a flexible seating arrangement with three primary sections:

• Orchestra (Front Section): Unparalleled closeness to performers, ideal for detail-oriented shows. Limited legroom in some rows.
• Mezzanine (Middle Tier): Elevated sightlines with balanced audio. Slightly steeper angles may affect front-row views.
• Balcony (Rear Tier): Budget-friendly with a full-stage perspective. Best for group bookings but farthest from the stage.

Best Seats by Event Type

• Concerts: Center orchestra (Rows 3–7) for optimal sound and visibility.
• Theater: Mezzanine front (Rows A–C) to capture full-stage choreography.
• Lectures: Side orchestra (near aisles) for easy access and clear sightlines.

Seat Views & Tips

Avoid extreme side seats for performances with elaborate sets. The venue’s compact size ensures no "bad" seats, but front mezzanine offers the best balance. Check the venue’s virtual tour for 360° previews.

VIP & Accessibility

• VIP Boxes: Private seating with premium amenities (contact box office for packages).
• Accessibility: Wheelchair-accessible seating in all sections. Assistive listening devices available.

Pro Tip: For budget-friendly options, rear orchestra seats often provide better value than front mezzanine.
