Platform Stage (English)
A platform stage, also known as an open stage or apron stage, is a type of theater stage that extends into the audience area, with the audience seated on three sides. It lacks a proscenium arch and often has minimal separation between the stage and the audience, creating an intimate and engaging atmosphere. This simple, flat, raised platform is versatile and often used in smaller venues or for minimalist productions. (English)
