The Role Of Theatre Seating In Attracting Audiences

By Tammie Caldwell


So many people live for performances. Either to view them or show the world their talent. This is a place where an individual can be themselves no questions asked. This self-expression can be seen through scripted plays or operas. Theatre seating should be well planned so that everybody has a good experience. A lot needs to be put into consideration and the size of the place basically dictates this.

For those who have only seen this area on TV, you must have noted something specific. That is the manner in which the seats are aligned. There are normally numerous seats each being elevated from the other. Viewing needs to be made easy with people not having to strain. The area where the performers and audience are should be separate.

There is normally a viewing area on the same level as the stage. There are also other areas such as balconies. There could be a couple of balconies but only one will be at the highest point. Many people would kill for this position because it is just perfect. It is so because it is higher than most seats. At this point you are able to view everything that is going on at every angle.

Some places go out of their way to ensure that their audience is comfortable. They want them to keep coming back after every show. This is definitely good for business. For comfortability, they leave reasonable space between seats. This could be 2-3 inches. The last thing you need while watching an amazing performance is feeling squeezed.

The seats themselves need to get on another level. You do not need to leave the venue while having back aches. Some of them will be padded giving them that extra cushiony feel. Sitting in such a place will definitely be an amazing feel. For those who love snacking in the middle of plays, cup holders can come in handy for keeping refreshments.

People who are disabled may have trouble when looking for a place to sit, depending on their handicap. This needs to be prevented by thinking of this issue before hand. Those who use wheelchairs need a place where they can position them for proper viewing. People who have slight hearing problems need assistance since acoustics is also related to the position of the seats.

While trying to figure out the right arrangement, simply ask around. Question the people who will be seating there to view that is the would-be audience. They should not have to elbow through other people so as to find their seats. The arrangement should also not hinder people from interacting. While placing the seats there should not be wastage off space.

Every theatre has a particular seating capacity. This should be at the back of your mind if you want to have a gathering at this kind of area. It is definitely a good place for such activities. You may end up being spoilt for choice when it comes to finding the right place to choose. So many people have upped their game so as to stay relevant in this business.
