About Apolo Theater
- The theater space seats approximately 1100 patrons.
- Seating is divided into three sections - a ground-level Orchestra, a Mezzanine at the first level, boxes on the side, and an Amphitheater at the highest level.
- Most patrons prefer the Orchestra for the direct access it offers to the stage, however, the Mezzanine is a great option on a budget, providing a panoramic view of the performance.
- The boxes allow an uninterrupted view from the side, with the added benefit of privacy.
- Although the amphitheater seating is quite high, with an angled view of the stage, the floor plan allows a decent sightline from nearly every seat.
