Rear Orchestra...that's up where the pigeons roost? Good grief. That's news to me.
Went to a play up at Ithaca rescently and the actors performed on the same level as the audience in a huge rehearsal room. "Chicago." Saw half of it due to an orchestra performance conflict.
Anyway, sitting there on the same level as the actors proved to be a big bother. I couldn't see a lot of the action because the actors weren't elevated--but their performance was spiritually elevating, so I sorely felt the loss of getting to see more of their movement across the floor. Too bad some kind of temporary platforms weren't used to elevate the actors just a bit.
Was this comparable to the "black box" type of performance area I read about in one of the above posts--even though there weren't any black curtains--just that rehearsal room with the orchestra elevated in back of the actors?
Best regards,
