[SML] Stairs from audience to stage

[Bill Conner]

I've been working on some code changes and wanted more views on just the
desirability of a permanent in the house route from audience to stage.
While my current work concerns an accessible route, I really want to hear
about the functional and artistic issues affecting the choice of having a
permanent in the house path or route.  My present big picture view is that
for theatre - opera, drama, dance - permanent stairs are undesirable for
artistic reasons.  For a very multi purpose space, like in high schools,
where far and away the overwhelming majority of stages and auditoriums are,
the path or route seems inevitably necessary.

Avoiding the complications  accessibility  brings to this for a moment,
correct or expand or just pontificate on the desirability of permanent path
or route.

Thank you.
