    There are four main performance forms of theatre: drama, musical theatre, audio/visual performances, and industrial performances. Architectural forms include the proscenium theatre with an arch framing the stage, the thrust stage projecting into the audience on three sides, the arena theatre surrounded by audience on all four sides, the black box flexible space, and the outdoor amphitheatre. Found space theatre adapts non-traditional locations to fit the scenery and add realism to the production.

    Styles of Theatre

    Four Performance Forms of Theatre: Drama: Straight plays, and plays with some type of singing or music in them. Musical Theatre: Stories with song and dance combined with drama. Audio/Visual Performance: Dance/Music Concerts. By nature, those are both audial and visual. Story is not so important to these things, as often there is no overall plot. Industrial: Steve Jobs-esque Performance for Company/Industry Meetings. Lots of money available in jobs like this.

    Architectural Forms of Theatre: Proscenium Theatre: Proscenium arch acts like a picture frame, to which the audience is looking in. The arch acts like the 4th wall in many cases. Thrust: Audience on 3 sides. Stage is thrust out between them, jutting out. Arena: Audience on all four sides (aka Theatre In the Round). Boxing Ring. Black Box: Big empty room (sometimes gymnasium) and can build various things in it. You can make a runway stage, and the audience is not necessary. Amphitheater: Unique outdoor experience. Found-Space: Inside or out. You find a space that fits the scenery of the show being performed, and it adds realism to the plot.
