	Theatre in the round - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		In an arena theater, there is an audience on every side of the performers; in effect there are four fourth walls.
		The stage itself in this arrangement is typically round, square, or triangular, with actors entering and exiting through the audience from different directions.

	At Arena Stage, a 'Butterfly' With Wings (washingtonpost.com)
		The director, too, wraps David Henry Hwang's Tony-winning tragicomedy in a stylish package; the play is staged without scenery, on a platform in Arena's Fichandler Theater that suggests itself as an homage to the precepts of Noh drama, the Japanese tradition of simple sets and intense emotion.
		In short, this is Arena energized and fully in its element, making the most of a play whose topicality has, if anything, intensified over the years.
		Though it chronicles a folly of the most intimate kind, "M. Butterfly" is just as cleverly an examination of the arrogance of a set of false assumptions made on a grander scale: that of the West's misreading of other cultures, and the sorry consequences that often ensue.

	Señor Discretion Himself - Frank Loesser (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Since the town, beautifully depicted by miniature wooden buildings bordering Arena’s theater-in-the-round stage, suggests a timeless no-tech environment and the musical landscape hearkens back to the lyricism of mid-Twentieth-Century musicals, the insertion of current day events and mention of popular pastimes, like drinking cappuccino, unnecessarily confuse the sense of time and place.
		A majority of the actors, many of them making their first appearance at Arena Stage, have some tie to Latino heritage which adds authenticity to the cast of players and the imaginary Mexican town.
		The award-winning set designer Thomas Lynch not only provides the charming wooden miniatures that make up the town, but also the stage sets that come directly out of the floor, such as the tombstones in the cemetery where Pancito visits the grave of his beloved wife.

		As well written as the play is though, the Arena Stage's production somehow falls short of its potential and isn't nearly as engaging or emotional as it could be in different hands.

		Butterfly, by David Henry Hwang, is Arena Stage’s masterful opener for its 2004-2005 season.
		Kaput!” Yet Americans, who fail to understand that Butterfly does not represent realistic Japanese behavior, are suckers for the emotional aria “Un bel di” that details Butterfly’s agonizing wait for Pinkerton’s ship to return and for him to walk up the hill to her open arms.
		Arena capitalizes on this after Gallimard dresses up as Butterfly, whites his face, reddens his lips, and seems to commit suicide while the aria plays and a second rain of petals falls.
