The word 'proscenium' is defined as "the part of a theatre stage in front of the curtain". It can also refer to the stage of an ancient theatre.
With regard to playing spaces there are the following:
proscenium: where the action is on a stage and the stage itself does not jut out into the audience or house space.
thrust: the stage itself juts out into the house and the audience is on 3 sides - front, stage left and stage right.
arena: theatre in the round where the audience is on all sides.
