Theatre-in-the-Round

Theatre-in-the-Round, also known as arena theatre, is a stage design where the audience surrounds the performance area on all sides. This setup creates a more intimate experience, allowing spectators to feel closer to the action and each other. Instead of a traditional proscenium stage where the play is viewed from one direction, actors perform in the center, engaging with the entire audience. This format encourages innovative staging and movement, as performers must consider sightlines and interactions from multiple angles. Theatre-in-the-Round enhances immersion and creates a dynamic atmosphere for both performers and viewers.
