Space

Part of Speech

Noun

Pronunciation

['spayse]

Description

The venue at which a theatrical production is taking place.

Why It's Wild

Because Northwestern undergraduate productions are not always in traditional theatres, students use space to denote any kind of place being used as a site for a production. For instance, an annual fundraising performance for The Dolphin Show parodying a famous musical is held at the Rock every December.

Example Sentence

Will you pick up some more spike tape and bring it to the space?
