The Theater for Performing Art
A building of a "theater" includes the stage and the auditorium. Besides,
the space for administration and
service is still needed.
The stage is for acting while the auditorium has seats for the audience.
Based upon the relation
between performers and the audience while the play
is on, the stage used to
be a Proscenium Stage (Figure 1), but now it is developed
into
Center Stage / Arena

Set / Scenery
For example, the settings are
very different between the Chinese drama
and the Western drama. The former is symbolic while the latter is
realistic.
