The speakers are pretty much over the stairs, so scenery wouldn't have been in the way (and the only thing close to the speakers were periaktoi that were behind them, and in front of the doors).
Yesterday I had my student techs mic up 8 actors (Shure ULXs and headset mics, in case it matters) and the actors stood center and on the front edge. They all spoke in a fairly loud volume and only one student's mic started to feedback when pushed too high (it was a lower tone feedback - probably in the baritone range, if that helps). In general, we could get all eight at a decent level without any problems. I'm thinking (given my limited knowledge) that this is just a matter of being careful with the gain and levels of each mic, and not a deeper problem.
I'll post another update tomorrow after talking to the sound guy.
