an arena stage is a type of stage used in Drama and Acting. It is a stage that is shaped like a square or rectangle and the audience sits on all for side, so the stage is surrounded by seating. a bit like a football pitch/ stadium
There are three types of stages. There is a proscenium stage, a thrust stage, and an arena stage.

A proscenium stage features a framed opening through which the audience views the performance, creating a clear separation between the performers and the audience. In contrast, an arena stage, also known as a theatre-in-the-round, has the audience seated on all sides, allowing for a more immersive experience but requiring performers to be aware of their sightlines from multiple angles. This difference affects staging, blocking, and audience engagement in theatrical productions.
One advantage of an arena stage is its intimate setting, allowing for a close connection between performers and audience members. Additionally, the 360-degree seating arrangement provides multiple vantage points for audience members to view the performance. However, a disadvantage of an arena stage is the potential for obstructed views due to the seating arrangement, which can impact the overall experience for some audience members. Additionally, staging and blocking can be more challenging on an arena stage due to the need to consider sightlines from all angles.
Actually, an arena stage is a type of theatre stage where there are no wings/curtains. look it up and you will see that the arena stage has no walls. it is laid out like an arena and therefore the audience is seated on all four sides.
The Arena Stage specializes in non-profit theater. The Arena stage is located in Southwest Washington D.C.. The theater was established in 1950 and reopened in 2010.
An arena stage is a theater stage surrounded or nearly surrounded by the audience and a thrust stage is a a stage that projects beyond the proscenium so that the audience sits around the projection.One side of the arena stage does not have the audience and on the trust stage every side of it is covered.
The stage would obscure the scenery of it to the audience.
