    Stage lighting for theatre performed in the round requires light to come from all sides evenly to illuminate the actors from multiple angles without shining into the audience's eyes. Light should come from within and outside the acting area using barndoored fresnels, which provide a smooth spread of light needed for the circular audience arrangement where visibility to actors is clearer due to their proximity compared to other staging forms.

    Stage lighting for In the Round theatre

    For staging in the round, light needs to come from all sides. And it should be evenly balanced to an extent that is not really permissible in a staging form so democratic as theatre-in-the-round. To avoid hitting the audience eyes, light has to come from both within the acting area and from outside it. Angles can be closer to the vertical than in other forms of staging because the audience is closer to the actors and thus visibility is clearer.

    Type of light to use


    For theatre-in-the-round, barndoored fresnels give the required smoothness and spread required.
