== Measurements ==

We only include basis measurements of the theatre, for better understanding of the size, and the relations.

Measurements are taken from the centre point depending on information available. The information can depend on local definitions of center line, plaster line, iron curtain line, etc. If no centre point is defined by the local sources, the centre point is the crossing of the middle line of the stage with the line where the stage is at full height.
