Over the years, theaters have changed into various internal layouts due to the production types presented there.
One of the common theater stage arrangements is a proscenium theatre which is identified by the large archway (the proscenium arch) near the stage's front, where the audience watches the play. The arena is raised several feet above the front row, as the audience sits directly opposite the stage. There is a space behind the arch called the main stage, while the area in the curtain's front is called the apron. Any place not seen by the audience is called offstage.
In alley theatre, the stage is surrounded mostly by the audience on two sides. It's also called a corridor theatre or traverse, while the thrust theatre begins with the audience sitting on three sides. It may be arranged as a square or polygon shape.
Under theaters in the round, there is a central performance area organized to enclose the audience. The seating arrangement is seldom round and is more of a polygonal formation or square. Actors enter the stage through aisles, and the carefully positioned scenery is minimal, so it doesn't obstruct the audience's view.
Lastly, the platform stage consists of a rectangular platform raised at one of the room's end. The floor might be sloping or leveled, and the audience usually sits facing the stage in rows. This type of theater stage is also known as an open stage or end-stage.
