Okay, okay, yes, there are two giant hideous columns, but it's 3/4 round really, and most companies who work there only stage things in front of those columns and build in front of them as well. So you don't usually have to deal with them.

The whole hearing people shuffling things around is a universal problem with Black Box theater, and if a show is staged to leave out the sides, well, that's really more a problem with staging than with the space. One might argue that it's the same problem with any in-the-round presentation. I haven't personally been bothered by extraneous noise there.

Okay, so, how about Lyric's space? It's roughly the same design, minus the columns.
