The wooden O it is a circle- good for acoustics "like a drum"
The stage- thrust stage, trap doors, pillars
Relationship with an audience of 1500 people - 6600 standing and 900 sitting [ 3 time as big as our auditorium]; lots of energy in the standing crowd
Groundlings  standing in the yard, stage about shoulder height, open to the weather, popular and affordable entertainment
Stalls- people in seats, bring a cushion. better sound here
It is big - you have to look up: that means big facial expressions/ gestures
Daylight- you can see the audience, up close
Dance & singing


I will need to....
