STAGE Recommended Seating Here are the recommended seating arrangements to help you receive the most impact from a Scott Wagoner performance. Audience seating: To insure the best show possible it is very important that the group be as close to the stage as possible. Location: Preferably indoors, but can also be performed outside with the proper conditions. View: An unobstructed view for all audience members is very important! Be sure there are no Columns, walls or large table centerpieces between the audience and the stage Stage: A small raised stage is recommended for all audiences over 100 people however in some cases can still be performed without. The stage can be the smallest rectangular shape possible. A standard 8.5' x 11' and 10" high with a single set of steps leading off the center of the stage into the audience is ideal. Steps on the ends of the stage can slow the program down unnecessarily. For smaller groups a dance floor or any area everyone can see will work as well. For larger groups, 100 or more, there shouldn’t be any empty space between the riser and the audience. Dance floors set between the audience and the performer when an audience is this size makes it very hard for the performer to connect. If the room is rectangular, position the stage in the middle of the long side of the rectangle. In that position, as opposed to one end of the room, almost all of the tables in the room are much closer to the stage.
