The Orchestra. The main floor of the theater is called the Orchestra. (This can get confusing if you're going to an orchestra concert and your seat is in the Orchestra. That doesn't mean that you'll be seated onstage with an instrument in your hands!) You can purchase tickets for the center, right or left orchestra.

Balconies. In some theaters the balconies have special names like Loge, or Founders' Circle, or Dress Circle. Sometimes the front part of a balcony has one name, and the back part of the same balcony has another name. These names, and what they mean, are different in every theater. The Maryland Theatre has a balcony with three sections: front, middle and upper.

Boxes. Boxes are small booths for a few people. The Maryland Theatre has both lower and upper boxes.

Special seating. Handicapped seating is available for all performances, and should be requested at the time of ticket purchase. The Maryland Theatre does not have an elevator, so anyone who cannot climb stairs should ask for seats in the Orchestra.
