This design was by far the most common for theatre spaces in the 18th , 19th , and 20th Centuries in Western theatre. The main stage is the space behind the proscenium arch, often marked by a Curtain which can be lowered or drawn closed. The space in front of the curtain is called the " Apron ." Proscenium stages range in size from small enclosures to several Stories tall. In general practice, a theatre space is referred to as a "proscenium" any time the audience directly faces the stage, with no audience on any other side, even if there is not a formal archway over the stage. The side of the stage that faces the audience is referred to as the " Fourth Wall ". The phrase "breaking the proscenium" is also known as Breaking The Fourth Wall : when the actor addresses the audience directly as part of the dramatic production. Alternative theatre layouts include the Studio , Thrust Stage and Arena Stage . "Proscenium" is a musical theater a cappella group at Brandeis University in Boston. http://people.brandeis.edu/~proscenium/ EXTERNAL LINKS
