Gallery (theatre)

The gallery of a theatre is a form of balcony, an elevated platform generally supported by columns or brackets, which projects from the interior wall of a theatre, in order to accommodate additional audience.

Theatre Royal, Melbourne c. 1873. The gallery is the topmost section of the audience.

It may specifically refer to the highest such platform, and carries the cheapest seats.[1]
