The plans below show a small theatre in 2010, and the same theatre in 2012.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words.

Sample 1:

The two maps illustrate the degree to which a small theatre changed from 2010 to 2012.

Overall, after two years, the theater became noticeably larger with the expansion of its upper and lower sections, and all of its facilities were either repurposed or relocated, except for the auditorium and the stage.

Regarding the top of the plan, the stage was enlarged in a northerly direction, overtaking half of the space previously occupied by the dressing room in 2010, which was turned into a corridor two years later. Meanwhile, there used to be a storage space flanking the stage and the corridor on the left in 2010, but it was then repositioned to their right flank in order to make way for two new rooms where performers or actors could get changed and take a shower.

Turning to the remaining areas of the theater, although the auditorium in the middle remained intact, the foyer below it had been extended towards the left by 2012, allowing for the establishment of a restaurant at the expense of the administration and ticket offices on the left-hand side of the main entrance. This in turn led to the relocation of the former to the left side of the auditorium and the latter to the bottom right corner of the plan, replacing the cafe that was present in 2010. 

Sample 2:

The maps illustrate the layout of a small theater between 2010 and 2012 show significant changes during that time period.

It can be seen that the theater received renovation efforts in the two-year time frame, with the building itself expanded sideways as existing features were moved and reconfigured. The only part that did not undergo significant changes was the central seating area.

Regarding the southern part of the theater, in 2010, there was a cafe situated in the corner to the right of the theater's main entrance, whereas the left corner was occupied by a ticket office and an administrative office. However, within the next two years, the ticket office was relocated to the bottom right corner where the cafe had been, while the administrative office was moved further back, to the left side of the seating area. This made way for a new restaurant area in the left rear corner.

In the upper section of the maps, one notable change was that the stage in front of the auditorium almost doubled in size with the addition of a side hall behind it, even as the auditorium itself remained unchanged. To the left of the stage was a storage room which, after 2010, was moved to the opposite end of the stage to make way for the construction of a showers area as well as the relocation of the dressing room. The old dressing room was located behind the stage in 2010, but this space, together with the right side of the stage, was redesigned to serve as a corridor which connected the dressing room and the storage room.

Sample 3:

The diagrams show the layouts of a theatre in 2010 and 2012. Overall, by 2012, it had been made significantly larger by adding new facilities and relocating some existing ones, while the main auditorium remained intact.

In 2010, the structure had two adjacent offices for admin and ticket sales and a cafe all located on either side of the main door at the centre of the lower wall. Inside the auditorium, there were two doors for entry, and one door for exit on the left next to the front-row seats. The main stage was about the same size as the dressing room behind it and a storage room was at the left rear of the theatre.

Over the next two years, the main door and auditorium with its entry doors remained untouched, while the exit one was lost. However, the lobby was widened, making room for a new restaurant. This means the admin office was moved a little up to the left in an addition, and the ticket counter replaced the old cafe on the right of the main door. Notably, although the stage was enlarged by almost double, the dressing room and storage were downsized and moved around slightly. The dressing room and new showers were located on the left in an extension, while the storage was on the right, all connected by a new long corridor at the back.

Sample 4:

The maps demonstrate how the layout of the small auditorium has changed over a span of 2 years.

Overall, with the core structure for the main operations remains largely the same, there are horizontal expansion of the theatre and significant alterations in amenities aiming to enhance the experiennce for customers and performers.

In 2010, the storage was occupied by a moderately sized on the left-hand side in the first half, while the rest area was utilized for the dressing room and the stage. Nevertheless, by 2012, the relocation of the storage to the opposite corner of the stage facilitated the establishment of a showers region as well as the refurbishment of a dressing room. Moreover, the old dressing room was combined with the right-hand side of the stage to construct a backstage corridor connecting the storage and dressing room, allowing for smoother movement. Additionally, the stage in front of the auditorium was nearly doubled in its origin, whereas the centered auditorium remained unchanged.

The period from 2010 to 2012 experienced a complete change in the lower section of the theatre. A restaurant was introduced in the left corner, where the admin office and the ticket office had been simultaneously removed. Furthermore, the cafe area was dismantled to accommodate a new ticket office, and the administrative office was shifted to the left-hand side of the seating room.
