Technical floor plan of the Austin Auditorium Stage at LaSells Stewart Center, Oregon State University. Drawn to scale at 1/4" = 1'. The diagram uses standard theatrical orientation with Stage Right on the left and Stage Left on the right.
Back of stage (north): The North Loading Dock is located at the upper left. A Crossover Hall runs the full width of the back wall. The overall stage width is 47'4", with the half-point marked at the Center Line. A Projector is mounted at the Center Line near the back wall. A note states that sound towers must be placed no more than 10' from the back wall when wings are open (6' opening) for proper projection.
Stage Right (left side of diagram): A large open stage area with the Edge of Finished Stage marked by a dashed diagonal line. A Sound Stack is located in the stage right wing area. The stage right wing is approximately 27'0" deep.
Stage Left (right side of diagram): The Edge of Finished Stage is also marked by a dashed diagonal line. The stage left wing contains a Sound Tower (described as 5' deep, 3'7" wide, 4'10" high, extended width 11', with 4 10x20 towers), a Handicap Lift, and a Spiral Staircase.
Center stage measurements: The Center Line runs from the back wall through to the front of the stage. Key dimensions along the center line include: 26'7" from the back wall to the Curtain Line, and 32' from the back wall to the back edge of the orchestra pit. The Curtain Line spans the full width of the stage opening, measured at 53'6".
Apron and orchestra pit: The stage apron extends beyond the Curtain Line. The apron is 12' from the Curtain Line to the edge of the stage on the sides, and 16'6" at center. The orchestra pit is in front of the stage, with a curved front edge. The pit is 35'4" wide and 10'5" deep. Stairs provide access from the stage to the house on both the left and right sides of the apron. The front of the pit curves outward toward the audience at 14'8" at its widest point.
