Seating Recommendations and Charts

Hoke Theatre - Stocker Arts Center offers seating for approximately 1,000 guests, arranged in a traditional reserved-seating layout facing a large proscenium stage with modern acoustics designed for clarity and balance.

• Front Orchestra Rows: For an immersive experience — especially for concerts and theater where facial expressions and detail matter — choose rows closer to the stage in the center sections.
• Mid-Orchestra: Prefer a fuller stage picture without being too close? Midhouse seats typically provide strong sightlines and even sound coverage.
• Rear Orchestra/Accessible Areas: Guests who value easy entry and exit, or who need accessible seating, will appreciate the designated accessible seating locations and the comfort of back-of-house areas with level access.
• Aisle Seating: If convenience is key, aisle seats provide quick access to the lobby, restrooms, and concessions between acts or during intermission.
