August Wilson Theatre

• The mid-sized theater space seats 1239 patrons spread across two levels - 754 on the orchestra floor and 485 on the mezzanine. 
• The larger orchestra floor is further divided into three sections - left, center, and right. Rows E-J in the center section have the best view in the house, situated at a favorable distance from the stage so you can take in the entire set and performance. 
• Seats towards the rear of the orchestra are highly impacted due to the mezzanine overhang, but still offer a decent sightline at a lower price.
• Middle rows in the left and right of the orchestra and rear seats in the mezzanine are great options on a budget, where you can pay less for a good overview of the action.
• Seats in the mezzanine generally provide a good sightline owing to the decent rake between each row and an optimally angled position above the stage.
