Smothers Theatre at Pepperdine University – Seating Chart & Seat Views Guide

Introduction to Smothers Theatre

Located on the scenic Pepperdine University campus in Malibu, Smothers Theatre is a 450-seat venue renowned for its intimate setting and exceptional acoustics. Hosting concerts, lectures, and performances, it offers a unique blend of elegance and accessibility.

Seating Chart Overview

  • Orchestra Section: Closest to the stage, offering unobstructed views. Center seats (Rows A-D) are ideal for immersive experiences, while side seats may have slight angle limitations.
  • Mezzanine: Elevated for a broader perspective. Front mezzanine (Rows E-G) balances proximity and overview, while rear mezzanine (Rows H-J) is budget-friendly but farther back.

Best Seats for Different Events

Concerts: Center orchestra (Rows B-D) for sound quality. Lectures: Front mezzanine for clear sightlines. Theater: Side orchestra for intimate angles.

Seat Views & Obstructions

Orchestra seats have minimal obstructions, while extreme side mezzanine seats may partially obscure stage corners. Avoid rear mezzanine for small-scale performances.

VIP & Accessibility

  • VIP: First-row orchestra includes priority entry. No luxury suites, but premium seating is available.
  • Accessibility: Wheelchair-accessible seating in orchestra and mezzanine, with companion seats.

Tips for Choosing Seats

Budget-conscious? Opt for rear mezzanine. Prioritize acoustics? Center orchestra. For versatility, front mezzanine strikes a balance.
