The 702-seat auditorium is a single tier with no balcony, and cars must be out by 23:30.
Parking아르코예술극장ARKO and Daehakro Arts Theatre: seating, sightlines and parkingARKO Arts Theater and Daehakro Arts Theatre are two separate buildings one street apart, both five minutes from Hyehwa Station exit 2. They charge identical parking rates, but Daehakro’s mechanical car park will not take an SUV.

DCF대명문화공장)YES24 Stage: seat views for Halls 1–3, and the parking catchYES24 Stage is a three-minute walk from Exit 1 of Hyehwa Station, with 406 seats in Hall 1, 301 in Hall 2 and 255 in Hall 3 — 962 in all.

Parking강동아트센터Gangdong Arts Center: seat views and parking, hall by hall (checked September 2026)Hangang seats 850 with only 18m from the stage edge to the back wall, so even row 19 sees the whole stage, and the balcony's front-facing seating is just five rows deep.

Parking마포아트센터Mapo Art Center: Art Hall Mac and Play Mac Seat Views and ParkingArt Hall Mac holds 1,004 seats but only 980 go on sale (919 when the orchestra pit is closed), and just 125 of the car park’s 145 bays take an ordinary car. We checked the seating, parking and shuttle details against the Mapo Foundation for Arts and Culture’s own pages, including the places where its own site disagrees with itself.
