LORT C and D Stats

In April we started collecting information on LORT C spaces. Between C-1 and C-2 there are only 20 LORT C Stages and of those 12 are Prosceniums. We have combined these numbers with the LORT D number to create overall percentages for C and D stages across the country.  
Stage Type

• 17 flexible 19% 
• 6 in the round 7% 
• 42 proscenium 46% 
• 25 thrust 28% 

Seating Capacity 

• 16 under 200  23% 
• 37 btw 200-400  54% 
• 16 over 400  23% 

​We have also made progress on the Comparison Ground Plan files, below you will see a sample of four Thrust theatres from four different regions overlayed. Each region has its own color. The Mandell Weiss Forum at La Jolla Playhouse and Anthony J. O'Reilly Theater at Pittsburgh Public Theater are both LORT C Stages. The Octagon Stage at Alabama Shakespeare Festival and Milton Theatre at Studio Theatre are both LORT D Stages.  
We have found, as you can see below, that each thrust stage is incredibly unique.
