audience configuration

Maybe the stage is a thrust, with the audience on three sides. The "chorus" (a.k.a. "the town"), which is really an anarchist marching band/gospel choir with a lead vocalist who sounds like Janis Joplin, is BEHIND the audience. So all the stuff you hear comes from behind you.
But I don't want you to see them when you enter the audience. The audience needs to feel like they are part of the larger society, like they are the stars hung on the curtain of the night sky. They are simultaneously of the world but observing it.


Hmmmm, must stop visualizing conventional audience space.
When on Broadway, we will perform at Circle in the Square. Hot.
