The maps illustrate the changes of a small theater layout over a 2-year period between 2010 and 2012. Looking from an overall perspective, it is clear that the layout of the theater witnessed remarkable developments. Most noticeably, the expansion on the two sides and the introduction of the restaurants. As observed, on the right of the auditorium in 2010 was a café, while by 2012 this area had become the ticket office. The ticket office, which had originally been at the lower left, was moved to the lower right. The administration office also changed position: it was in the lower-left corner in 2010, but in 2012 it was placed directly above the new restaurant area. The main entrance remained at the bottom centre in both plans.

The central performance spaces were largely retained. The stage and auditorium remained in the same sequence, with the auditorium below the stage, and the number and arrangement of chairs appear unchanged. However, the media room was repositioned from above the stage to a narrow space on the upper-left side. A hall was added above the stage, while storage was moved to the upper-right corner; showers were also added on the left side below the media room. Overall, the theater gained several facilities and saw changes to its side rooms, while its main seating and entrance stayed in place.
