The Steppenwolf Upstairs gets re-configured to fit the needs of each particular production. For This Is Our Youth, the stage was a narrow strip running down the center of the theater with 7 rows of seats forming the north section and 8 rows of seats making up the south section -- so almost but not quite in the round. I was in about the 3rd row of the south section on 7/27 -- 299 seats total, so pretty intimate. Over the years they have done plays completely in the round, but off-hand I can't recall seeing any at the Upstairs. However, Nathan Allen's The Sparrow was presented completely in the round at Steppenwolf's even more intimate Garage Theater back in 2007.
