Province, bounded on the north by Bayambang (Pangasinan), Moncada and Paniqui to the
east, Santa Ignacia to the south, and to the southwest, Mayantoc. Based on the 2015 national

The community theater typically has 500 to 1,000 seats and serves amateurs, semi-
professionals, and visiting professional companies. Because of its numerous uses and the
and error-free as possible. Most of the scenery and costumes are planned and made inside the
theater. Experimental theaters will not be included in this study because of the unique issues
they bring. A correctly chosen site offers: (1) Accessibility by regular modes of transportation
(only walking requires a central location. (2) Sufficient separation from bus and streetcar
lines, major highways, and other noise sources. Congested traffic zones should be avoided if
whether educational or recreational, to lessen traffic between buildings and to require less
The area of the theater that seats the audience during a performance is frequently
referred to as the "house," and it is designed to work according to the type of show and the
quantity of spectators. The term "the house" can also refer to a location that is neither a stage
or a backstage area. The foyer, coat check, ticket windows, and restrooms are all included in
this. Each auditorium needs a different amount of room, depending on a variety of variables,
but the following guidelines can help. To ensure comfortable audience seating, maintain the
standard distance. The aisle is the area where people can walk while facing rows of seats on

either side or a wall on the opposite side. The margins of the aisles are identified with a series
of small lights to increase safety when the theaters are darkened during the play. The stage
serves as both the venue for performances by actors and other performers as well as the
center of attention for the audience. The stage may have a platform (typically raised) or a
in theaters and other facilities devoted to such productions, though these may occasionally be
temporary or movable. Keep the background modest to improve visibility. The stage is in the
center of the audience, with spectators facing it from all sides, in theaters with an arena stage
or theaters in the round. The placement of the audience near to the action creates a sense of
closeness and involvement. This design, however, severely limits the quantity and quality of
visual spectacle that can be offered for a performance because scenery that is taller than a few
feet will obstruct the audience's view of the action occurring onstage. Flexible stage theaters
don't create a rigid hierarchy between the stage and the audience. They can be incorporated
into any of the traditional theater forms or their modifications. The audience is typically
either standing, moving around during the performance, or seated on the main floor, and there
is typically no physical separation between the stage and the auditorium. Even the best plays
will suffer from bad sound because theater is a visual medium. Although the sound is
frequently disregarded, strong sound lines are equally as important as good sightlines.
Arrangement
"Front" or public areas, and "backstage" or work groups, constitute the two major
elements. Spectators should find everything necessary for their needs accessible from the
foyer once they have presented tickets. Included are toilets, coatrooms, drinking fountains,
lounges, and smoking areas The lobby should provide waiting space and circulation to areas
other than the theater, which may be contained in the building. The manager's office is

control of the stage entrance will avoid interference from unauthorized persons and facilitate
accounting of players, properties, and scenery. Rehearsal rooms are part of the work area and
should be near other work elements Movement of heavy furniture and other properties
demands close relation between workspaces and stage proper. Dressing rooms may be more
General Requirements
The requirements for community theaters are derived from the same historical sources
as those for commercial, or "professional," theaters, but they exhibit fundamental differences.
The emphasis on creative effort leads to demands for a different type of accommodation than
does the necessity for financial profit. Two general types of creative community activity,
Audience Activity
Due to the social character of the occasion, this is fantastic before and after a
smoking are all required. It is crucial to have simple access to these areas. Occasionally, the
audience and actors may mix; for this reason, a lounge and rehearsal room combination are
required. Refreshments may also be given, therefore a small kitchen or serving pantry is also
necessary.
Production Activities
theater, scenery, costumes, and properties are mostly prepared within the theater plant.
9
Separate workshops are ordinarily provided, one for costumes, and one for scenery and
properties. Used materials are salvaged insofar as possible, stored within the plant, and
reused. Ample storage space is needed Presentation problems may be solved differently in the
community theater than in its commercial prototype. Both types demand ample stage space;
but, whereas in the "professional" theater, urban real-estate values have forced a vertical
development with lofty stage houses for lifting scenery vertically ("flying"), tiered dressing
rooms, and often inadequate wing space, the community theater, built on less expensive land,
may be expanded horizontally. Scenery can be shifted horizontally, perhaps on wagon stages.
Proscenium size and shape may be variable. Such flexibility and multiplicity of uses are not
only financially desirable, but some theater authorities call them essential for the theater's
progress. Types of stages which are considered impractical in the average commercial
Limitations
Because the theater has such specialized needs, this study is only focused on those
aspects of the creative center that are specifically related to community theater needs. Since
amateur participation is emphasized in community theater, less staff efficiency and a greater
need for facility flexibility than in commercial theaters are to be expected. The average
seating capacity of the auditorium for the style of theater being mentioned here is 800, often
fewer.
Public Circulation
The community theater's public sections must be easy to move about. To allow the
audience to enjoy each area to the fullest before the show, in between acts, and after the final
curtain, access between the various areas must be as open as possible. The community theater
10
needs even more comprehensive circulation facilities; the code requirements for doors and
exits are minimal for safety. The number of openings to the vestibule, lobby, auditorium, and
lounge may be expanded significantly above the minimum depending on the site, the
surrounding developments, the placement of plan elements, and requirements for acoustics,
lighting, etc.
Access to Auditorium
If at all feasible, arrange the main entrances from the foyer to the auditorium without
doors. To do this, a thorough acoustical analysis is required; most likely, sound deadening
material will be needed on the walls of approaching corridors or lobbies, in order to prevent
parallelism.
Types of Space
might be used for social gatherings, lectures, discussion groups, etc. It is always good to have
both a vestibule and a lobby. The lounge might also be used for rehearsal.
Vestibule
The vestibule next to the street may have exceptionally bright lights. In general, it is
desirable to include additional amenities like tiny bookstores and other places that will draw
Ticket Office
If possible, this should command the entrance to the inner lobby while also allowing
the lines to develop without getting in the way. Ideally, there are two ticket booths: one for

current seats and one for reserved seats. Additionally required is enough unobstructed wall
Lobby
While huge lobbies are not particularly necessary in theaters in large towns, in
community theaters performances must be viewed as both social events and dramatic
entertainment. As a result, the lobby should be set up to best display groups of people and
their attire. It's simple to combine the lobby and display area, which is often preferred in
community theaters. Although the space is not used as an actual art gallery, it is still desirable
to have an exhibition area to display the various developments, such as costume designs and
stage set sketches. This is because it is hoped that the community will be interested in both
Checkrooms
This should be sufficient or left out entirely. If it is included, it should enter from the
main lobby, and arrangements should be made to have enough staff and a big enough
entrance so that there is no need to wait in line after the performance. The cost of hiring the
right number of spectators may be an issue with community theaters. The checkroom should
have a door leading to the main foyer because it serves not only the theater but also other

Auditorium and Stages
Even in theaters with 1,200 to 1,500 seats, the last seat should be no more than 75
(22.86m) to 100 feet (30m) from the stage, and even less in smaller places. When using
balconies, the front of the balcony should be within 50 feet (15.24m) of the stage.
Seating Facilities
Seat spacing should always be greater than the New York Code requirement of 32 in.

"Continental" seating, in which each seat row becomes an aisle, should be restricted to small

Acoustical Treatments for Theaters
materials on theater walls often requires acoustical consultants. They will measure the
acoustical models to calculate the results for new construction. Too much reverberation at
high frequencies will result in “bright” or “harsh” theater acoustics. At low frequencies, too
much reverberation will make the space sound “boomy,” and may be prone to feedback in the
sound-reflecting and/or sound-absorbing materials on the ceilings, side walls, and rear wall.
Interior Design
Hard surfaces reflect sound, so choose fabric-upholstered seats to help control reverb
in the theater. Metal or plastic seating may be cheaper, but they can mean disaster for your
acoustics. Absorptive seating, on the other hand, helps provide stable reverberation

reception hall. (Montpellier Tourism. 2023) A joyful wooden harlequin façade greets visitors
to the new cultural hotspot in Montpellier, the Jean-Claude Carrière theatre, designed by
Montpellier based A+ architecture firm. The visible cuts of wood arranged in diamond and
rhomboid shapes are strategically placed to draw people into the main entrance, allowing
them to experience the surrounding natural environment via an expansive public piazza and a
large courtyard. The focal element – the harlequin patterned façade, creates a central motif in
the architects’ design process from the first design concepts and sketches through the
realization of the idea a year after the initial idea conception. Not only does the theatre appear
as an aesthetic piece due to the harlequin motif, but also has an implemented motive within.
The whole of the wooden construction has led to a reduced environmental impact with
minimized material consumption and construction. Furthermore, it was discovered that there
was no need for air conditioning in the building due to the dynamic thermal simulations that
harness the Mediterranean climate. As well as that, all of the lighting systems including the
Situated in the heart of the centuries old park, the theatre appears as a vibrant red volume
with a strikingly dynamic main entrance. The lozenge (rhomboid-shaped) façade also has
diamond-shaped lights embedded within which further implies that the building’s architecture
is focused on theatre, lights, dramatic appearance and the cultural aspect of this performing
art. The Jean-Claude Carrière theatre is now open to the public and accommodates a
restaurant and an overall capacity of 600 seated and 1200 standing guests. (Archello, n. d.)

Theatre lands between the esplanade set for big tops and the nearby pine trees with the utmost
respect towards the environment and existing trees. The theatre orientation both breaks the

this axis in order to maintain unity and to enhance the new theatre in the Domaine of O. This
culture box offers its surroundings and passersby new pathways to wander through and new
spots for gathering. The altimetry of the site allowed us to draw comfortable and light stairs

Scenography
All choices in terms of stage set, scenography and space designs are linked together with the
main architecture concept. Our thinking was devoted to technical requirements such as the
pedestrian circulations, the mobility of the stage, the space management and its adjoining
entities. We wondered the best way to welcome theatre ensembles, how their props would be
delivered, etc. We developed a scenography that has a huge potential to adapt and open to

On the entrance(entry), this dress lifts up itself to let show through the secrets of this place of

same care as the outside facing. This diamond is put in echo and repeats in the internal space.
If the lace of diamond-shapes is the signature of the project, it also hides other many
references to domains related to culture, theatre and to the site of course. The red tint of the
building’s shell resumes ochres present on the domain ; it adds to the architectural coherence

Architecture more than anything is a human adventure, in that perspective we had to design
efficient, creative and easy to use plans and volumes. This simplicity has the potential to let
Environmental excellency
Since the first designs and sketches and until its completion, the Jean-Claude Carrière
Theatre, chose energy and environmental excellency. The approach aimed at bringing to the
minimum, the global impact of the project on the environment. The project team under the
impulsion of A+Architecture and Spie Sud-Ouest put their energy into conceiving a project
that takes into account the requirements set by the Herault General Council. We focused both
on the consumptions of exploitation to deliver a BBC project low energy building) but also
on the energy necessary for the construction of the building, its capacity to be dismantled and
its energy appreciation at the end of life, which we hope will happen in a long, long, very
long time!
A low energy consumption building: By consuming twice less than a regular building, the
Jean-Claude Carrière Theatre complies with the Low Consumption Label. The theatre does
not require much energy as for the conventional (heating, cooling, supply air, lighting),
20
adding to this, all lights on stage are 100% LED, making our project the very first one in
France to. The iterations of dynamic thermal simulations allowed us to verify that these
energy savings go hand in hand with the comfort of usage of our Mediterranean climate with
Sustainable materials: Usually the energy necessary to build a project equals to 30 to 50 years
of exploitation. Aware of this energetic parameter, we decide to use sustainable and energy
efficient materials. The new cultural equipment is entirely made of wood, the peripheric
walls, the roof framing, the floors, the walls, the facade facings represent a volume of around
1000m3. We put the same care in the other materials from the rubber floors to the paintings
and certified galzings. In fine the theatre circle of life analysis shows its exploitation years is
of only 7 years.
A sustainable building site: The first environmental feat was to conceive and build this
project in 12 months! The second one is how the environment and nature was at the heart of
our thinking. The work in the dry process implies an important part of prefabrication and the
clean site construction charter was followed in an exemplary way by all the companies
If we add to it that 90% of the project can be dismantled (and reassembled!) from the energy
and environmental point of view, the Jean-Claude Carrière Theatre sure is exemplary!

interest for the researchers to observe who are the users that can visit and explore around the
town. Among the audience, one can find dedicated theater enthusiasts who regularly attend
themselves in Camiling’s local culture, and students gaining valuable exposure to the arts. As
for the performers, the stage hosts a diverse array of talent, carefully selected by theater
directors and production teams. From seasoned actors delivering gripping monologues to
classically trained musicians filling the air with symphonic melodies, dancers captivating
with their graceful movements, comedians amusing with their wit, and singers, including
opera divas and contemporary vocalists, enchanting audiences with their voices. In this
theatrical ecosystem, the audiences and management teams play a crucial role in ensuring a
There are all different kinds of people that enjoy going to the theater, therefore the
audience you may expect will largely depend on the type of show. Students, workers,
individuals with disabilities, lovers of the program, the elderly, kids, people in relationships,
and people who just want to watch for the sake of it are just a few examples of the many
diverse types of viewers. No matter your age, ethnicity, religion, gender, political beliefs, or
financial condition, you may reach any of these groups. Audience members can interact with
27
actors onstage by sharing their feelings and unique experiences. Audiences also recall their
own experiences afterward. Without a crowd, theater would not be conceivable. Artists in
various areas use their bodies, voices, and instruments to communicate with their audiences
and to impart emotion, narrative, and knowledge. Throughout history, the performing arts
have had a tremendous impact on human culture. Artists who perform in front of an audience

CHAPTER 4: SITE PROFILE AND ANALYSIS
Location:
The corner lot is in Camiling, Tarlac, directly in front of the hospital [Señor Sto Niño
Hospital Inc.] This location is suitable for a performing arts theatre considering it provides
church, stores, cafes, schools, and other amenities, which adds to its allure and potential of
the site.
Accessibility:
Considering the lot sits in front of the hospital and serves as a public Plazuela, it is
quite visible and easily accessible. It gains from the steady stream of visitors and tourists.
Furthermore, the proximity of adjacent businesses like shops, cafes, schools, and a church
improves accessibility and convenience for potential theatre patrons. The constant flow of
people visiting the establishments surrounding the location creates opportunities to attract a
diverse audience.
Surrounding Establishments:
neighboring church may draw a steady stream of locals who are interested in attending
32
cultural and artistic events. Theatergoers can benefit from the nearby shops and cafes, which
offer pre- or post-show meal options and shopping possibilities. Schools in the neighborhood
may work with the theater to put on educational programs or shows, which is another benefit
of their presence.
With its dimensions of 100x200, the lot offers a total space of 20,000 square meters.
The development of a big performing arts theatre that can accommodate a large number of
spectators and has room for backstage amenities, dressing rooms, storage, and technical
The project known as the 'Community Performing Arts Center' is situated on a corner
lot facing the Senor Sto. Nino Hospital, situated within an open field/area. It is widely
recognized that Camiling is among the rapidly developing towns in the province, yet it is also
susceptible to flooding, as it is located in one of Tarlac's flood-prone areas. The project team
has taken into account the local population's needs and has presented the initiative to the
municipality, emphasizing the area's unique advantages. The vision for the Performing Arts
Center is to establish it as a cornerstone of the community, a place where the arts can thrive,
and residents can find their true artistic expression. The objective is to create a perfect venue
for performances and presentations, fostering an environment where artists and cultural
enthusiasts can showcase their talents, share their stories, and celebrate the rich artistic
heritage of the region. Through this endeavor, the aim is not only to nurture artistic
expression but also to preserve and promote the unique cultural traditions, ensuring their
continuity for future generations. The center will stand as a testament to the community's
33
dedication to the arts and culture, offering a platform for growth, creativity, and the unifying
Topography
To determine whether the lot's topography is suitable for erecting a performing arts
theatre, it should be examined. To provide a solid and useful location for the theatre, any
sizable slopes or unlevel ground may need to be graded or level in. Additional to the research
gathered.
Longitude: 120.418252
Latitude: 15.6871913
The project has considered how the lot is oriented to maximize natural sunlight and
ventilation in the theatre. The architecture of the theatre also took advantage of the
surrounding vistas, such the hospital, churches, or local green areas, to improve the
audience's entire experience. Infrastructure and Utilities: To make sure they can sustain the
activities of a performing arts theatre, the availability of infrastructure and utilities, such as
electricity, water supply, and sewage systems, the researchers have evaluated and considered
34
the following. Upgrades or extra connections may need to be considered, if necessary.
Parking and Accessibility: There is enough parking available to accommodate the anticipated
number of theatergoers. To ensure diversity, the theater's design should also include
accessible elements like ramps and special seats for people with impairments.
With its history, the site has always been a destination for enjoyment and
amusement, where a fun fair, or "peryahan," is held. This occurred as a major holiday or
Throughout the years, Camiling has been considered as a flood-prone area. The town
is in the low-lying areas of Tarlac province, making it susceptible to flooding during heavy
rains and typhoons. The Pampanga River also runs through the municipality, further
increasing the risk of flooding. There are recent records such as the onslaught of Typhoon
Ompoong in 2018 that affected many lives and drowned the whole place with its massive
flood.
In 2021, the Department of Public Works and Highways completed flood control structures
along the river of Camiling, which is one of the places in the Tarlac province identified by the
National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council as flood prone. Tarlac 1st
District Engineer Erelina B. Santos stated that the reoccurrence of flood has not only affected
the lives of people but also their properties and discouraged long-term investments.
“Camiling is considered as one of the fastest-growing towns of the province but is also one of
the areas in Tarlac that is prone to flooding. Out of its 61 barangays, the Mines and
Geosciences Bureau-Regional Office III has tagged 22 barangays with high susceptibility to
flooding, and by constructing flood control structures, this may help in preventing any
negative socio-economic impacts of floods such as loss of lives, property, and livelihood,”

Tarlac 1st District Engineer Erelina B. Santos said on Thursday the recurring flooding not
only affects the lives and properties of the residents but also often discourages long-term
investments.

Santos said in an official social media post. In Addition to her words that the project intends
to protect the riverbank from scouring and erosion as well as to protect the national road from
damage and flooding. It will also ensure the continuity of economic and social activities in
the community.

DPWH RO3 said District Engineer Neil Farala initiated a sandbagging operation along the
river at Cacamilingan village in Camiling town “to mitigate the impact of the flooding.”
It said the flood caused by Typhoon Egay has affected residents and motorists in the said
village in Tarlac. “Affected residents have been advised to remain vigilant and take necessary
precautions, particularly during heavy rainfall, to ensure their safety. The DPWH is actively
working to address the issue and restore the slope protection to its proper functionality,” the
DPWH RO3 said. The damaged slope protection is around 50 meters long.
