Sometimes known as the “proscenium archâ€, this is an opening through the wall separating the stage from the auditorium. It is often ornately decorate to frame the stage. Modern theatre design, in order to allow greater flexibility, has tended to modify this design. You could say the Rep doesn’t have a proscenium, certainly not a conventional one. Our unique arrangement includes adjustable wooden sides and a cross section that actually “explodes†out into the house at the forward limit of the flex zone. If you want to get a good view of it, walk right to the back of parterre seating.

A Proscenium theater is a theater space whose primary feature is a large archway (the proscenium arch) at or near the front of the stage, through which the audience views the play. The audience directly faces the stage, which is typically raised several feet above front row audience level. The main stage is the space behind the proscenium arch, often marked by a curtain which can be lowered or drawn closed.
