Thrust Stage (English)
The thrust stage extends into the audience, with the audience seated on three sides of the stage. This arrangement creates a more intimate and immersive experience, as the actors are closer to the audience. Thrust stages are often used in Shakespearean and classical productions.On Broadway, both the Circle in the Square and Vivian Beaumont Theatres feature thrust stages. (English)
