The Stage door theater is definitely a small intimate venue. Our first visit here brought us to see the show "You say tomato, I say shut up". Hubby paid the up charge to have us seated in the front, where they provide mini tables. Since I am short I prefer to not have someone seated in front of me,and I don't mind being in the front row. This worked well and added $5.00 more PP to our ticket. No assigned seats at all in this theater. Come early and get your drinks and snacks if you need them (at the consession stand). No waitress service once inside the theater either. After the 3 (or 4) rows of tables you will find chairs. Again not assigned seating. The show was top notch and I anticipate going to "The Stage door" many times in the future.
