What is traverse staging in drama?

Traverse staging (also called "alley" staging) is a way of arranging the audience and its view of the drama. The audience sits on both sides of a central stage, across from each other. Used typically in fashion shows, it can also have seating at one ending, creating what is called a thrust, platform or "open" stage, surrounded by the audience on three sides.


How is the globe theatre laid out?

It is a twenty-sided polygon with three tiers of roofed galleries overlooking an open area. The stage comes out halfway into the yard, open to the sunlight. There is a roof over the rear half of the stage, with entrance doors on either side, and a drapery called an arras between them. As with the auditorium, there are second and third levels of the stage that are permanent fixtures of the playhouse. The area offstage, behind the exit doors is called the 'Tiring House (attiring house). There are trap doors in the floor of he stage, and in the loft above the stage, covered by the roof. On the second level, above the entrances are windows, and there is an upper level terrace between them to allow scenes to take place up there as well. It is a kind of permanent unit set built into the architecture of the theater itself.
