- Orchestra Aisle 1, Row K ($114) - Premium center orchestra location at mid-house distance. Perfect balance of proximity and perspective for Shakespearean dialogue clarity.
Higher Tier Options (Enhanced Experience)

View Comparison Guide
- Balcony vs Orchestra: Balcony (Rows A-G) offers better overall perspective for Shakespeare's blocking patterns, while Orchestra (Rows A-O) provides closer actor engagement.
- Aisle 1 vs Aisle 9: Aisle 1 is dead center with symmetrical views; Aisle 9 has slight angle that can enhance certain stage pictures in this production.
- Front Rows Warning: Rows A-C in orchestra may require slight neck tilting due to stage height - better suited for patrons who don't mind looking slightly upward.
Expert Recommendations
- For best acoustics: Choose Orchestra Rows K-M (optimal sound dispersion in this venue)
- For group bookings: Balcony Aisle 1 Row G (4 together at $65) offers unbeatable value
- For romantic scenes: Orchestra Aisle 1 Row F ($215) puts you in perfect position for Rosalind/Orlando moments
- For budget-conscious: The $68 Orchestra seats in Row O still provide full-stage visibility
Special Notes for "As You Like It"
This production heavily utilizes the thrust stage configuration. Balcony seats between Rows B-D provide particularly good views of the forest scenes' choreography. For the wrestling match in Act 1, center sections (Aisle 1) offer the most dynamic viewing angles.
