What stage space do you imagine for your script? Black box? Proscenium? Thrust? A meadow?

I can see mine on either a proscenium or thrust.

I am picturing mine on a proscenium stage, maybe because that is what I have at my high school, but I have no reason to especially use the prosceniums. It could be on a thrust sage as well I guess. An outside theater would not really work though.

Mine's totally imagined in a round. Mostly because I love rounds. Of course, it would probably be better in a proscenium, but who cares. Round is the way to go!

Very simple set. No swashbuckling (yet -- who knows what will emerge as the month goes by). Any stage will do.

Mine is on a proscenium, mostly because that's what my high school has, and that's all I've ever acted/danced on, so I can picture a set for it. Plus, mine is mostly set in a house, which is hard to do with a thrust or outside stage.

If you don't have hope, what do you have?

I picture mine on a proscenium, mainly because my local theater is a simple proscenium.

Proscenium. I don't really have a particular reason to use a thrust...maybe if did a musical....

No, so far it's in a house--well, apartment first, then during intermission it becomes a house...maybe...if I stick with this idea...[how do you spell the sound that frustrated screaming makes--the kind that accompanies tearing one's hair out?]

Writing that springs from the surface of existence--when there is
no other way and the deeper wells have dried up--is nothing,
and collapses the moment a truer emotion makes that surface
shake.

Mine's on a proscenium, with a hellishly complicated set -- it takes place in a high school tech theatre class, which means another, smaller proscenium stage on stage for when the characters are out in the house, and also a workshop. And probably a prop loft.

Senioritis -- Four men in a coffeeshop. They write a novel.
Echo Flux -- Peasant girl saves the world with SCIENCE!
(That was NaNo 07. Screnzy?)
Ballroom Blitz -- The kind of highly-meta play that gets written by a student in Tech Theatre.

I build for minimalism. It would probably work best on an intimate, low thrust. A small raised platform, a doorway and three chairs would be a good start for set. Or end; I love focus on people not set.

In my mind, I'm picturing it in my home church, with the chancel area as the stage, where most of the action would take place. There are entrances on the left and right in the chancel area itself, as well as ones left and right in the nave area, where people could walk up through the gap in the altar rail. One scene in my play is actually going to be a church service so, for that scene, I keep picturing the actors sitting in the congragation and actually going up to present the gifts their holding.

It's sort of proscenium, but... not...

Either proscenium, black box or possibly thrust. It's quite adaptable, so could theoretically be set in the round as well, although I tend not to go for that.
