Here is my view from the booth.
The large houselight obscures my view of stage right. The angle is really steep. And when I sit back in my chair it looks a little like this:
Yikes! Designers of Theatres do not really consider the person sitting upstairs running the whole thing!
One more:
Looks like a dollhouse. Kinda funny, right? (If you look closely you can see my arms and my hands reflected in the glass as I took the picture.)
We are stage managers. We adapt. We should probably complain more, but we are always presented with the fait accompli and are never asked our opinions when a theatre is built. So, we duck and peer, squirm and wiggle around as we try to call a show.
Architects are artists, right? Stage Managers are artists too, and should be consulted!
Why not make each space the best it can be?
I'm just saying...
