[SML] theater in the round

[Charlie Richmond]

All my early theatre experience, acting and as a sound and lighting
designer was in a small theatre in the round which often performed in a 3/4
configuration so that was all I knew for my first 30 shows or so and it
seemed completely normal to me.  It also taught me that directionality was
extremely important in theatre sound.  The theatre was called the Community
Theatre of the Monterey Peninsula at the time and is now the Gold Bough
Circle Players (as it was before being called CTMP...)  It was an amazing
experience!
