On performance day, most of our audience will arrive to the Kentucky Center for the Arts by bus. From the time your bus stops on Main Street, you will be guided by a team of ushers and house managers, employed by the Center for the Arts, from your bus, up the impressive front steps of the building, and into the Center. As you wait briefly while your teacher speaks with the Stage One representative, take a moment to look around and notice the various mediums of artwork you see displayed. Ushers will lead you into your seats in the Bomhard Theater, a modified thrust stage with a house that seats 616 audience members. There is no curtain in this theatre, so you will be able to see the set before the play begins.
Theatre is what is called a collaborative art.
That means that it takes many people working together to make it happen. Watching and listening carefully not only helps the actors and the other audience members, it will also help you to fully appreciate the performance.
