The Studio Theatre at the Broadway Theatre Center is a 99 seat Black Box theater.  Each set has its own set of rules when they are performed in Black Box theaters.  Megan Wilkerson shares some photos and rules from the set of RTW's production of String of Pearls.  http://www.behance.net/gallery/String-of-Pearls-Renaissance-Theaterworks/5300365

What is a Black Box theater?  Here's some info from WiseGeek.com: The great thing about a black box space is that it can be anything anyone wishes to imagine. Other theater spaces can be changed, but their fundamental character remains the same. A black box theater is capable of endless new configurations, allowing people to exercise their creativity, which can be especially valuable in the case of experimental performances, where unusual arrangements of seating and stage may be needed.  http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-black-box-theater.htm
