performance spaces
Where acts happen
Performance spaces are venues designed or used for live artistic presentations—theaters, concert halls, amphitheaters, nightclubs, and similar settings where audiences gather to watch performers.
The term encompasses both purpose-built facilities and adapted locations: The old warehouse was converted into a performance space.
It often implies smaller or more experimental venues than traditional theaters.
