Jay and Linda Grunin Center for the Arts Main Stage

The Main Stage at the Grunin Center for the Arts is a 460-seat proscenium arch theater.

The ground-floor Orchestra section is raked, meaning the seats in row A are lower than the seats in row K. Four aisles allow for easy access to seats. No stairs are required to access Orchestra seats.

Our second-floor Mezzanine section is our balcony. Easy access to the Mezzanine level is offered by an elevator in the lobby. The Mezzanine is stadium-style, meaning that each row is four steps lower than the one behind it. All rows, except row EE, require stairs to access.
