I am designing a new theatre in an old building and I am thinking about control booth location.
If I go the traditional route and put it behind the audience, it will be small, low ceilinged and impossible to access for the less well abled users. If I put it backstage with two redundant video and audio feeds, it will be large, adaptable, comfortable and accessible. It will also give me 16 more seats in a 100 seat theatre.
What do you think? Is locating it backstage a brave move too far?
