In promenade theatre there is no formal stage, both the audience and the actors are placed in the same space. The performance starts when one of the actors draws attention to himself or light is pointed in such manner that draws attention to a particular person. During the performance actors will stimulate the audience to move around.

Where did promenade theater originate?

Promenade Theatre is where the audience are taken from location to location and there may be little/no seating. In medieval times, passion/mystery plays about the life of Christ were popular in cities across England (and europe?). These were generally paid for by guilds of craftsmen, each of whom would put on a scene from Jesus' life on a cart. Those watching would move from cart to cart, making this a promenade production. Some of these still continue today, in different forms. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chester_Mystery_Plays Is this the origin of modern promenade theatre? Possibly. Another theory is that theatre practitioners have looked a lot more at unconventional staging since the 1950's, and this is a fairly obvious possibility, in which case fringe theatre/drama schools would be a good place to look for origins.
