Kirby Center Seating Chart – Best Seats, Views & Tips

Your Guide to the Perfect Seat at the Kirby Center

The Kirby Center for the Performing Arts, a historic venue in Wilkes-Barre, PA, hosts concerts, Broadway shows, and comedy acts. Known for its elegant architecture and intimate atmosphere, choosing the right seat enhances your experience. Here’s a breakdown of the seating chart, views, and tips.

Seating Chart Overview

  • Orchestra: Closest to the stage, offering unobstructed views. Best for immersive performances but pricier.
  • Mezzanine: Elevated mid-level seating with excellent sightlines. Ideal for balanced views and budget-friendly options.
  • Balcony: Higher up but often steeper. Affordable with good overall views, though distant for detail-heavy shows.

Best Seats by Event Type

  • Concerts: Center orchestra (rows 5–15) for sound and visibility.
  • Theater: Front mezzanine for a full-stage perspective.
  • Comedy: Anywhere in the orchestra for clear sightlines.

Seat Views & Obstructions

Orchestra seats offer crisp views, while mezzanine provides a broader angle. Balcony seats may feel distant for smaller acts. Avoid extreme side sections, as they can have partial obstructions.

VIP & Accessibility

  • VIP Boxes: Private, premium seating with dedicated service.
  • Accessibility: Wheelchair-accessible seating in orchestra and balcony. Contact the box office for assistance.

Tips for Choosing Seats

  • Prioritize center sections for balanced views.
  • Check venue photos for sightline references.
  • Consider mezzanine for budget-friendly yet great views.
