Ogunquit Playhouse Seating Chart
A historic summer-stock theater on the southern Maine coast, operating since 1933 in a classic wooden playhouse in Ogunquit. The intimate house stages professional musicals and plays through the warm season, drawing Broadway-caliber productions to a beach town, with a single sloped orchestra and a small balcony.

- Orchestra — main floor closest to the stage
- Orchestra rear — back rows of the main floor
- Loge — first elevated rows
- Balcony — upper tier
- Box seats — premium side positions
- ADA seating — accessible positions along the orchestra
Best seats at Ogunquit Playhouse
Center orchestra rows from about row F to L give the best view of the full stage in this intimate house. The loge front offers a slightly raised head-on sightline that some prefer for musicals with big choreography.
Tips before you go
The playhouse runs a summer season, so check dates before planning a coastal trip around a show. Parking is tight in busy Ogunquit, so arrive early or use the town trolley that loops past the theater from the village and beach.
How to read the Ogunquit Playhouse seating chart
Ogunquit Playhouse seats 750 on stacked levels facing the stage, so reading the chart means thinking in tiers rather than rings. The orchestra — the main floor — sits closest to the stage; above it the mezzanine and then the balcony step back and up, and box seats line the sides. Lower row letters are nearer the stage, center sections face it square on, and side sections trade a straight view for a lower price.
Three things decide a Ogunquit Playhouse seat: how far from the stage you are, whether you sit center or off toward a side aisle, and which level you are on. For a theater this size, the value sweet spot is usually the front of the mezzanine at center — an unobstructed, elevated view of the whole stage without orchestra-row prices. Watch for overhang and any "partial view" note on your seat, and cross-check the official Ogunquit Playhouse map before you buy.
