Everyone has experienced the difficulties of going to an actual movie theater. Finding the right seat, waiting in line and overpaying for movie snacks are all just a part of the typical movie experience. If you want to actually enjoy watching the movie, you need to create a home theater system. While a move theater setup can cost thousands of dollars if you pay someone else, you can save significantly by creating the home theater yourself.
Pick the Right Location
The first step in creating a home theater is to find the right space. Ideally, a home theater should span about 20 feet by 13 feet. It should be set off from the rest of the house or the main rooms so that everyone else is not disturbed by the loud noises. Often, home theaters are set up off of the family rooms or in a spare bedroom.
Framing and Insulating the Theater
For the best experience, the next step is to insulate the room. R30 insulation will help to insulate the sound from the movie from disturbing the rest of the house. The

For the average home theater, the best screen size is about 110 to 120 inches. You can also frame the screen with proscenium panels to hide the center, left and right speakers. The other speakers can be camouflaged behind acoustic, artistic panels. Next, connect the speakers and projector to the equipment hub.
Choose the Seating for Your Home Theater
If you want a typical movie theater appearance, you may want to use seats that match a theater. You can purchase vintage seats from old-fashioned theaters, or you can upgrade with leather recliners. Theater seating is available in a number of styles and price ranges, so the type that you choose is entirely up to your budget and personal tastes. Often, home theaters use two rows of four seats. On the back row, you can elevate the seats using a pre-built platform for better viewing.
Selecting the Right Materials and Sound
The stage was in proscenium form so it allowed most audience members to have the same amount of viewing as others throughout the theater. Due to the theatre space being so small and intimate, it created the relevant atmosphere of everything on stage happening to be small.
People have dreams of what they want to do or accomplish in life, but usually musical theatre is just pushed into the non-realistic void. It isn’t a dream for me. In the past four years, musical theatre has been clarified as my reality. Musical theatre has been the only thing I have seen myself wanting to do. My first love was The Phantom of the Opera, seeing how I watched it almost every day and it was one of the first shows I saw. Of course, I started doing all of those cute shows in middle school and making a huge deal about it to my family and friends, but I have never felt so passionate about something. The minute I get up on that stage I throw away Riley for two and a half hours and it’s the most amazing feeling! Being able to tell a story

"The arts of the western world have been largely dominated by the artistic standards established by the Greeks of the classical period" (Spreloosel 86). It is from the Greek word theatron, meaning a place for sitting, that we get our word theater. According to James Butler, "The Greeks were the first people to erect special structures to bring audiences and theatrical performers together" (27). "The theaters were normally located near a populated area at the bottom of or cut out of a carefully selected, sloping hillside overlooking a seascape, a plain, or a city" (Butler 30). "They eventually with few exceptions consisted of three distinct parts: theatron (viewing place) for spectators, orchestra (dancing place) where the chorus and actors performed; and a later addition, a skene (scene building), which provided a scenic backing" (Butler 30).

First, the Globe Theater’s structure doesn’t prohibit the audience to see what’s going on at all times. Richard Burbage stated, “This building will allow you to never miss a moment of a play for your enjoyment. You would never be disappointed” (York 197-207). This statement makes the theater a very exciting place to be. The Globe Theater’s structure allows the audience to have a great for them and for their families. Therefore, the formation of the Globe Theater is very unique because the audience would be able to enjoy themselves at all times. Second, Shakespeare made fascinating memories in the Globe Theater. The Globe Theater was home to the majority of Shakespeare’s plays and sonnets. His most famous plays, Romeo & Juliet and Macbeth, were performed in the theater. Approximately 200,000 people were in attendance for those plays. That number really says something for the theater. It says that it is capable of holding a num...
In a movie theater, there are experiences that some will not have while at home and watching Netflix, such as the enormous screen, comfortable movie theater seating, and the theater speakers. Netflix can be used in a causal way with friends, but the main purpose of watching a movie is enjoying the experiences one can get from the movie itself. While at the movie theaters, the environment is completely different, because everyone is supposed to be quiet or else they risk being thrown out. The experience does not compare to the feeling someone gets when that intense scene appears, and they get immersed into the atmosphere of the theater. Movie theaters have the opportunity to give someone an unforgettable experience unlike Netflix, because the ambiance is truly unique and unmatched by anyone’s living
It can be difficult to re-create the experience of going to the movie theater. However, home theaters and in-home entertainment has become more popular as online streaming has taken a precedence in the industry.
Many cultural enthusiasts, archaeologists, and architects have a common interest in theatre and its origins. People from a few decades back have located the remaining of the oldest theatres in Greece, England, France and some parts of minor Asia. Theatre was a part of people’s lives as it was one of the few sources of entertainment, and it was originated from when people collectively sit in a gathering and listen to a storyteller. There were performances done by different people present at that moment. Later on, this activity kept improving and innovating, and in the result, many theaters for entertaining purposes were built by emperors who ruled the countries or kingdom in those days. The design of these theatres

For as long as humankind exists, theatre will always take on an important function within its cultures. Through theatre, a culture expresses itself, reflects its society, and displays its individuality. It invites people to experience other cultures.
The evolution of theatre conventions began with highly presentational Greek productions and changed through the Medieval and Elizabethan ages to the current conventions. Greek conventions included performances done on a mostly bare stage, the use of internal stage directions to indicate location, episodic play structure, and a chorus that served multiple functions including setting the overall mood, commenting on or explaining the action, and creating reflection intervals. Other conventions included an all-male cast, the “Three Actor Rule,” the presence of a tragic hero, and the plays typically served the purpose of teaching the public or making a political statement. Many of these conventions evolved to adapt to the time period of the performances.
Theatre as we know it now was born more than two thousand years ago and has gone through many streams until it reached the current modernity. Among these streams is the avant-garde theatre. This theatre achieved a break in the traditional theatre and became the forefront of a new experimental theatre. Therefore it is necessary to ask how this theatre started, what impact it had on society and if this type of theatre is still common in our modern era.
