Proscenium theatre

Proscenium theatre is a type of stage setup where the performance takes place behind a large, rectangular frame called the proscenium. This frame acts like a picture window, with the audience viewing the action from one side. The stage is usually raised, and the proscenium arch helps focus attention on the performance. This design allows for elaborate scenery, lighting, and special effects, creating a visual "window" into the story. It’s a common and traditional theatre style often used for plays, musicals, and other performances where artistic presentation and spectacle are emphasized.
