The Loeb’s 556-seat theater is the venue for most A.R.T. productions as well as fall and spring mainstage productions of the Harvard-Radcliffe Dramatic Club (HRDC). The building also contains the Loeb Ex, or Experimental Theater, a “black box” that is used by the A.R.T.’s Institute for Advanced Theater Training and by the HRDC.

I'd like to see your website show a layout of the seating at Loeb Drama Center so I can see where I'm sitting. It'd help me determine if I want to "upgrade" to better seats before I buy. Thanks!
finally found a seat map, not labeled as such. too bad it didn't indicate where the zones are which are mentioned on the ticket buying page.
gave up.
you can do better.
