 THEATER STYLE BANQUET

Theatre Style is one of the most common event seating types and will allow
you to fit the largest number of people in the room. Essentially theatre style is
just chairs, generally split into sections by aisles to make it easier to access.
Theatre Style is most commonly used for an event that entails keynote speakers
and a large audience who usually seated for the duration of the event listening
to the presentations. Venues will often set up a few water stations around the
outside of the room and some may place notepads and pens on each chair for
the delegates to use (check with your venue on this).
 ADVANTAGES OF THEATER STYLE
BANQUET
It makes it easy for the presenter to see everyone and to call on anyone.
It helps keep everyone’s focus in the right place because all of the seats
are facing towards one place.
It also makes very economical use of the venue space and ensures
maximum seating capacity.
• It makes people get to know their neighbors! Because the seats are
quite close together people end up talking to others to their left and
right.
 DISADVANTAGES OF THEATER STYLE
BANQUET
It can be a challenge for audience members to go to the bathroom or leave early, because they’ll
need to push past a number of other guests with minimal space.
Aisles have to be created in order to make seats accessible, and aisles take up valuable space.
They can also become jammed quickly, and begin to irritate attendees.Because each seat doesn’t
have a lot of room, there’s no good place for each guest to place a computer, notebook, or a
plate of food or drink.
There’s also not a good place for guests to store their personal items such as jackets or book
bags.
• Guests will mostly only be able to talk to people right next to them, as everyone else is facing
forward, so it’s not great for fueling discussion.
