Tom Patterson Theatre
Nestled in the heart of Stratford, the Tom Patterson Theatre stands as a beacon of cultural excellence, recently revitalized in 2019 to offer unparalleled experiences for both audiences and performers. This architectural gem, accessible via a serene shared courtyard, is just a stone's throw from the bustling shopping district, making it a perfect cultural detour. Among its many accolades, the theatre's 1999 production of 'The Winter's Tale Stratford' was celebrated for its groundbreaking puppetry, a testament to its commitment to innovation. Continuing this tradition, the 2021 introduction of a virtual reality tour marked another leap into the future. Patrons can enjoy the luxury of Elevated Boxes, each outfitted with cutting-edge sound systems, or find solace in the exclusive Luxury Box seats, away from the main auditorium's lively atmosphere. The theatre also shines in its philanthropic efforts, hosting annual fundraisers with performances by festival stars. Don't miss the chance to experience 'The Winter's Tale Stratford' in this iconic venue, where history and modernity converge to create unforgettable theatrical moments.
Tom Patterson Theatre Seating Guide for "The Winter's Tale"
Best Value Tickets (Great Views at Lower Prices)
- Aisle 4, Row G ($208): Excellent side view with only 7 rows back. The Tom Patterson's intimate thrust stage means no seat is farther than 15 rows, making these a steal.
- Aisle 1/2/6/7, Row H ($208): Similar value to Aisle 4 but with different angles - Aisle 1-2 face the main entrance points while 6-7 offer more diagonal perspectives of the stage.
Sweet Spot Tickets (Premium Balance of Price & View)
- Aisle 2, Row D ($236): Just 4 rows from the stage with perfect sightlines to all performance areas. Actors frequently use this aisle for entrances/exits.
- Aisle 6, Row E ($236): Slightly elevated view that lets you see floor choreography clearly. The $28 jump from Row H is worth it for the improved angle.
Higher Tier Options (Closer but Pricier)
- Aisle 6, Row D ($255): The "Goldilocks zone" - close enough to see facial expressions but not so close you strain your neck. Best for Shakespearean nuances.
Premium Experience
- MAIN FLOOR GA ($494): Front-row flexibility but comes at 2.5x standard price. Only recommended for patrons wanting guaranteed stage-edge access.
Key View Differences
- Aisle 1-2: See actors' primary entrances but may miss some upstage right moments
- Aisle 4: Most balanced frontal view of the entire performance area
- Aisle 6-7: Reveal intricate stage-left blocking and design details
- Row G vs H: G offers slightly better elevation (6" rise) for seeing floor work
Our Recommendation
For "The Winter's Tale" which moves between court scenes and pastoral sequences, we suggest Aisle 6, Row E ($236) - the elevation helps track both the formal and rustic scenes while keeping costs reasonable. The diagonal view enhances the play's spatial storytelling.
Pro Tips
- Rows A-C can require looking upward during floor-level action
- Aisle seats allow easier movement during intermissions
- All seats are within 40 feet of the stage in this configuration
