TYPES OF THEATRE VENUES PROSCENIUM ❖ A Proscenium theatre has the stage and audience separated from each other with the audience facing forward to view the stage. ❖ There is often a wall that clearly separates the two.

All areas in front of the performance area. AP= Ante-Proscenium. The area facing the stage. FOH and AP are often used interchangeably, except when discussing staff. FOH staff is the staff that works with the audience and guests. THE GRAND DRAPE ❖ The front curtain of the stage is often brighter and prettier than the other drapes. It is called any of the following: ❖ The Grand Drape ❖ The Main Drape ❖ The Main Rag The back drapes are usually black as to not draw attention or reflect light.
