ABSTRACT
Introduction Shaping the interior of the hall with boxes, balconies, parterres, and galleries is exciting. This is when the character of the interior gels into concrete architectural forms via the intense collaboration between the acoustician, the theater consultant, and the architect. Out of this effort comes the fundamental proportions that will define both the visual feel of the hall to patrons and performers and the acoustic response. But where does the acoustician begin this effort?
