The term 'theatre platform' refers to the area of a theatre where performers stand and perform. It is composed of two parts: the STAGE and the PODIUM. The STAGE is a raised platform, usually at the front of the theatre, where actors and actresses perform. The PODIUM is a lower platform, usually at the back of the theatre, where musicians, speakers, and other performers stand. Together, the STAGE and PODIUM form the theatre platform, providing a space for performers to present their work.
