Myer Horowitz Theatre | Seating Chart & Seat Views Guide

Introduction to Myer Horowitz Theatre

Located at the University of Alberta, the Myer Horowitz Theatre is a premier venue for concerts, lectures, and performances. Known for its intimate atmosphere and excellent acoustics, it hosts a variety of events, from live music to comedy shows.

Seating Chart Overview

The theatre features a single-level auditorium with a capacity of 739 seats, divided into three main sections:

• Orchestra (Front Center): Best for unobstructed views and proximity to the stage. Ideal for concerts and performances where close interaction matters.
• Middle Sections: Balanced views with slight elevation, offering a great mix of visibility and comfort.
• Rear & Side Sections: Budget-friendly with decent views, though side seats may have slight angle limitations.

Best Seats for Different Events

• Concerts: Rows 5-15 in the center orchestra for optimal sound and sightlines.
• Lectures/Comedy: Middle sections (Rows 10-20) for a clear view without straining.

Seat Views & Potential Obstructions

The theatre’s design ensures minimal obstructions, but side seats may have slightly angled views. Rear seats still offer good visibility due to the venue’s steep incline.

VIP & Accessibility Options

• VIP Seating: Front-row seats with premium access (limited availability).
• Accessibility: Wheelchair-accessible seating is available at the rear orchestra level with companion seats.

Tips for Choosing Seats

• For immersive experiences, prioritize center orchestra seats.
• Budget-conscious fans can opt for rear sections—views remain strong.
• Check venue-specific notes for obstructed views (rare but possible).
