Was the set design for this show? Was it in the round or did they convert the theatre to a proscenium?
In our millions, in our billions, we are most powerful when we stand together. TW4C unwaveringly joins the worldwide masses, for we know our liberation is inseparably bound.

(Modified) Thrust staging, if I remember correctly.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Thrust staging. The whole theater was redesigned to look like a school gymnasium, with a basketball hoop retracted into the ceiling above the audience. The contestants sat on a fourth set of moving bleachers onstage. The center section in front of the stage was sunk below stage height so the audience had to look up and the actors could climb down to interact. The rest was raked seating surrounding 3/4 of the stage. It worked really well.

i love how intimate it is.
The thing is, besides being an utter toad of a human being, Riedel usually has the least knowledge of the topic in the room. He doesn't usually understand the content or approach of a show, and is always completely and unfailingly socially ignorant, which makes it really infuriating when Susan can't get a word in edgewise. A definitive mansplainer; it's always painful when he has female guests. I watch the show sporadically when I really want to see a guest, because it's the only theatre talkshow we have, but it would be so much better without this hateful clown in a dadcoat.
