TicketHold | Ronald and Lynda Nutt Theatre Seating Chart & Seat Views Guide

Your Ultimate Guide to the Best Seats at Clayton Center For The Arts

The Ronald and Lynda Nutt Theatre, a cornerstone of the Clayton Center For The Arts, is a premier venue for concerts, plays, and performances in Tennessee. With its intimate 1,200-seat capacity, the theater offers exceptional acoustics and sightlines, making every seat a great option. Below, we break down the seating chart, best views, and tips for choosing your ideal spot.

Seating Chart Overview

  • Orchestra (Floor Level): Closest to the stage, offering unobstructed views. Rows A-F are ideal for immersive experiences, though front rows may require slight neck tilting for stage-heavy performances.
  • Mezzanine (Mid-Level): Elevated for a broader perspective, perfect for ballet or orchestral events. Center sections (M1-M3) provide the best balance of proximity and view.
  • Balcony (Upper Level): Budget-friendly with a panoramic view. Avoid far-side seats (BL1/BL6) for skewed angles.

Best Seats for Different Events

  • Concerts: Rows C-G in the Orchestra for sound clarity.
  • Theater: Mezzanine center for full-stage visibility.
  • Lectures: Balcony front row (affordable yet clear sightlines).

VIP & Accessibility

  • VIP Boxes: Private, mid-level seating with lounge access.
  • Accessibility: Wheelchair-accessible spots in Orchestra rear and Mezzanine, with companion seating.

Pro Tips

Use TicketHold’s interactive seat maps to preview your view. For budget seats, aim for Mezzanine center over Balcony sides. VIP upgrades often include perks like priority entry.
