1. Seeing the show (sightlines and seating)

• The layout ensures everyone has a clear view of the stage, including those in the back rows.
• Tiered seating or sloped floors help people see over the heads of those in front.
• The overall shape of the auditorium impacts how well people can see and feel connected to the performance. 

2. Hearing the show (acoustics and sound system)

• Sound behaves well: Acoustics focuses on how sound travels, bounces, and is absorbed in the room to create a clear and balanced experience.
• Evenly distributed sound: Avoiding flat, parallel walls helps prevent echoes and ensures sound is heard clearly in every seat.
• Sound absorbing materials: Materials like acoustic panels, upholstered seats, and thick curtains absorb sound to prevent excessive echoing.
