Tom Patterson Theatre
Nestled in the heart of the Stratford Festival, the Tom Patterson Theatre is a beacon of theatrical excellence, where legends are born and masterpieces come to life. This historic venue, renowned for its intimate setting and exceptional acoustics, has been the starting point for many acclaimed actors, including those who graced its stage in the 2004 production of King Lear. It continues to honor its rich Shakespearean heritage while embracing innovation, as seen in the 2019 world premiere of a groundbreaking work by a celebrated national playwright. The theatre's commitment to diversity in performance is evident in its 2022 presentation of Chekhov's The Seagull, alongside its upcoming production of The Winter's Tale Stratford, promising an unforgettable experience. Patrons can enjoy the comfort of Dress Circle seats, known for their extra legroom, or the convenience of Standing Room areas, equipped with wall hooks for personal items. For those seeking a scenic route, a leisurely 20-minute bike ride along the picturesque lake path leads directly to the theatre, with a charming descent from the bridge to the riverside path guiding you to the Tom Patterson Theatre. Don't miss the chance to witness The Winter's Tale Stratford in this iconic setting, where every performance is a testament to the enduring power of live theatre.
Tom Patterson Theatre Seating Guide for "The Winter's Tale"
Best Value Tickets (Price + View Balance)
- Aisle 6, Row H ($234) - Excellent side view with only 8 rows back. The Tom Patterson's thrust stage means no seat is farther than 15 rows, making these mid-section seats a steal.
- Aisle 2, Row H ($234) - Opposite side from Aisle 6 with identical pricing. Slightly better for scenes staged on the right side of the thrust.
Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price)
- Aisle 6, Row F ($252) - Just 2 rows closer than our best value picks, with noticeably better actor facial expressions visibility (+15% price).
- Aisle 2, Row E ($252) - Prime viewing angle for the stage's left entrance/exit scenes. Row E is where the rake starts for improved sightlines.
Higher Tier Options (Not the best deals)
- Aisle 6, Row D ($273) - First elevated row with perfect head-on view, but only 17% closer than Row F for 8% higher cost.
- MAIN FLOOR GA ($494/4) - Standing room only. Only recommended for last-minute attendees - obstructed views when seated patrons lean forward.
View Differences by Section
- Aisle 2/7: Best for scenes staged on the right side of the thrust (actor entrances from stage right)
- Aisle 4/6: Ideal for left-side focused scenes. Aisle 6 has slightly better legroom.
- Row H: Last row before sightlines begin to slightly decline. Perfect balance of price/view.
- Rows D-F: The "golden zone" - close enough to see subtle acting yet far enough to take in full stage pictures.
Our Recommendation
For "The Winter's Tale" (which uses the full thrust stage dynamically), we recommend Aisle 6, Row H as the best value. The $234 price is reasonable for this intimate 200-seat theater, and the view captures both the upstage pastoral scenes and downstage dramatic moments equally well. If budget allows, upgrade to Row F for marginally better visibility of the performers' expressions during Shakespeare's nuanced reconciliation scenes.
Premium Tip
The Tom Patterson's unique 3/4 thrust means center aisle seats (Aisle 4) often sell first. If available last-minute, these provide the most balanced perspective but typically cost 20-30% more than side aisles for similar rows.
