The in-the-round also provided an interesting take on the acoustics. The sound was not just coming directly at you the entire time, but it was able to ebb and flow. Made me wonder if some theatre directors plan for that, and coach their actors to utilize that option. Looking at the line up of shows, there's a wide variety of performances. From contemporary, historic, and local shows, the space appeals to any and all!
