The Kennedy Center Theatre Lab, a premier venue for intimate performances, offers a unique experience with its versatile seating layout. Whether you're attending a play, musical, or experimental performance, understanding the seating chart ensures you get the best view for your budget.

Seating Chart Overview

The Theatre Lab features a flexible seating arrangement with three primary sections:

• Musicals/Dance: Mezzanine center for a full-stage view.
• VIP/Luxury: Box seats or front-row Orchestra for exclusive access and comfort.

Accessibility & Tips
