About South Coast Repertory

South Coast Repertory is a nonprofit professional regional theatre organization located at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts campus in Costa Mesa. The company was founded in 1964, and its current Costa Mesa complex opened in 1978, with the Julianne Argyros Stage addition and later renovations expanding the facility. The theatre operates two primary indoor performance spaces: the Segerstrom Stage, which seats approximately 500+, and the Julianne Argyros Stage, which seats approximately 330, for a combined capacity in the neighborhood of 800 across the two theaters.

SCR is one of the leading regional theatres in the United States and received the 1988 Regional Theatre Tony Award. Its programming includes live professional theatre, new plays, world premieres, classics, musicals, adaptations, post-show discussions, play-reading festivals, educational programming, and acting classes for all ages. The company is especially recognized for its commitment to developing and premiering new American plays through its Pacific Playwrights Festival and new-play commissioning program.

The venue’s intimate scale is central to the experience, with mainstage productions on the Segerstrom Stage and more intimate work on the Julianne Argyros Stage creating a close connection between performers and audiences.

Location & Transportation

South Coast Repertory is located at 655 Town Center Drive, Costa Mesa, CA 92628 — in the South Coast Metro / Town Center area near South Coast Plaza and the Segerstrom Center for the Arts campus.

Driving and Parking: South Coast Repertory is primarily car-accessed and sits just off the 405, also known as the San Diego Freeway, and the 73 freeway. On-site and adjacent structured parking serves the Segerstrom Center for the Arts campus. Arriving ahead of curtain is advisable because lots can fill before evening performances.

Transit: OCTA bus routes serve the surrounding Town Center and South Coast Plaza area. Rail transit is limited, so transit can be useful for some local trips but driving remains the most common way to reach the theatre.

Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup are practical around the car-oriented arts center campus. Designated loading areas around the arts center help simplify post-show pickup after performances.

Nearby Accommodation: Numerous hotels cluster around South Coast Plaza and the South Coast Metro district. Staying in this area gives theatergoers a short drive to South Coast Repertory and convenient access to the surrounding dining and shopping district.

Venue Navigation

South Coast Repertory is an intimate two-stage theatre complex, so understanding whether your performance is on the Segerstrom Stage or the Julianne Argyros Stage helps you move smoothly from the lobby to your seats. The venue’s layout favors close sightlines and straightforward indoor navigation.

Entrances and Access: Main entry is through the theatre lobby serving both the Segerstrom Stage and the Julianne Argyros Stage within the arts center campus. Ticket verification takes place at the door, and ushers are available inside to help patrons reach the correct house and seating area.

Seating Levels: The Segerstrom Stage is a thrust/proscenium-style mainstage, while the Julianne Argyros Stage is a smaller, flexible second house. Both theaters are intimate, single-level or gently raked spaces, emphasizing close audience-to-stage connection instead of large multi-tier auditorium navigation.

Accessibility: Wheelchair-accessible seating and services are provided. Assistive listening and other accommodations are typically available by request.

Getting to Your Section: Ushers assist patrons to their seats, and the intimate scale makes navigation straightforward once inside the lobby. Because latecomers are typically seated at a suitable break at the house management’s discretion, arriving early helps ensure you are in place before curtain.

Dining Options

Inside South Coast Repertory

South Coast Repertory typically offers lobby concessions and a bar for performances, with beverages and light refreshments available before the show. For the smoothest experience, allow time before curtain so you can pick up refreshments, find your seats, and settle in without rushing.

Outside the Venue — South Coast Metro

The surrounding South Coast Metro district offers extensive dining options, with South Coast Plaza nearby for upscale restaurants and casual choices within a short walk or drive. The area works well for pre-show dinner, post-show conversation, or an easy meet-up before heading to the theatre.

How Much Do Tickets to South Coast Repertory Cost?

South Coast Repertory ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the production, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from regular season plays to premium high-demand productions such as the holiday "A Christmas Carol."

Regular season plays typically range from about $25 to $90, depending on the production, seat location, and performance date. Rear and side seats often offer the most affordable pricing, while stronger center sightlines and prime dates can cost more.

Premium and high-demand productions, including the holiday "A Christmas Carol," can run higher for prime seats. Weekend performances, popular titles, and the best center-seat locations are among the factors that can push prices upward.

Popular productions and the holiday show sell well in advance. Buying earlier generally gives you better seat selection and stronger pricing options, while the best remaining seats can become more expensive as inventory shrinks and the performance date approaches.

South Coast Repertory Seating Guide

South Coast Repertory’s seating layout is worth reviewing because the venue includes two intimate performance spaces: the larger Segerstrom Stage and the smaller Julianne Argyros Stage. Both houses are designed for close theatrical sightlines, but the experience can vary by stage, row, and position relative to the stage.

Best Seats at South Coast Repertory

• Best value: Rear and side seats typically offer the most affordable pricing while still benefiting from the theatre’s intimate scale and close audience-to-stage connection.
• Closest to the action: Front rows near the thrust or stage place patrons immediately adjacent to the performance, creating the strongest sense of proximity.
• Best overall experience: Center orchestra or center house seats offer the strongest sightlines and a balanced view of the production.
• Premium and suite options: Prime center seats carry premium pricing for patrons who want the most direct sightlines and strongest overall viewing position.
• For groups: Group sales are accommodated for parties, and coordinating seats early helps keep everyone together for popular productions and high-demand dates.

Can I See Where My Seats Are?

Yes. The interactive seat map on BoxOfficeTicketSales.com shows your exact section and row placement before you buy.

Getting Ready for Your South Coast Repertory Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical steps make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at an indoor theatre complex where arriving before curtain matters.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the entrance without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Arrive early to park, reach the lobby, and get to your seat before curtain; latecomers may be held until a suitable break in the performance.
• Wear the right footwear. South Coast Repertory is a standard indoor theatre with minimal walking from parking structures to the lobby, but comfortable shoes still make the parking-to-seat transition easier.
• Dress in layers. The venue is indoors and climate-controlled, so light layers can help you stay comfortable throughout the performance.
• Know your stage. South Coast Repertory houses both the Segerstrom Stage and the Julianne Argyros Stage, and the stage for your production appears with your event details.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
