THE FLOOR PLANS of the Park Avenue Theatre—of the stadium level (left) and of the auditorium level (right)—can best be understood by remembering that the unlabeled ell portion of the stadium portion is the upper level of the lobby, thus bringing the main stadium seating area over the lounge. It should be noted that, following a keep-tothe-left theory, egress is made into the lounge, while exiting patrons move directly to the lobby.
