In theater, a thrust stage (also known as a platform stage or open stage [1]) is one that extends into the audience on three sides and is connected to the backstage area by its up stage end. A thrust has the benefit of greater intimacy between performers and the audience than a proscenium, while retaining the utility of a backstage area. Entrances onto a thrust are most readily made from backstage, although some theatres provide for performers to enter through the audience using vomitory entrances.
A proscenium arch stage is the modern traditional stage you see in most dedicated theatrical venues. The proscenium is a wall with a large arch where the main curtain line separates the "house" (where the audience sits) from the "onstage" (containing the main stage acting area and the backstage area). Usually there is more stage extending into the house area called a "thrust." Between the audience and thrust stage is the orchestra pit or simply the "Pit" where musicians can play for the audience without blocking the audience's view from the actors. Backstage, there is a "shop" where sets can be constructed before a production or stored during a performance. The "fly system" or "fly's" is a series of pulleys and weights which can raise or lower set pieces from the "grid" (located above the main stage). The light booth and sound booth are located usually behind the audience, a location known as "front of house," and also considered a backstage area.
The stage is divided into five parts-(upstage is the back/downstage is the front) *Upstage left *Upstage right *Center *Downstage left *Downstage right -House (audience) -Light and sound area/table/loft -Wings (area to the right and left on the stage past the curtains) -Backstage (area directly behind the last curtain) -Precenium (archway above the stage)
Well, theater in the round means the stage is round and the seats are all around it,so everyone can see.So any venue in the round can be seen from any seat. To be viewed from all sides; freestanding.You're welcome :)
Today, theaters are built so that the stage is a level surface with the audience on an incline for better visibility. In the past, however, the audience was on level ground and the stage was on an incline with the edge of the stage closer to the audience being shorter than the back edge of the stage. "Upstage" was so called because actors literally had to walk up to move to that area of the stage. Likewise, "downstage" was so called because actors literally walked down to move to that area of the stage.
