Thrust Stage


Picture
Picture
*The Thrust stage has seating on three sides.
*It uses standard Acting Areas minus the Apron.
*Because the audience is on three sides of the stage, an actor's back is to some of the audience much of the time.

*Thrust stages are designed to use mostly smaller set pieces, however large setting can be used in the Upstage area on many Thrusts.
*This type of stage is very good for audience Interaction, since you are thrust out into the audience.
*Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre was a thrust stage.
