What is the second dress circle in a theater?

The second dress circle in a theater, also known as the "upper circle," is a seating area located above the first dress circle and below the balcony. It typically offers a more elevated view of the stage compared to the lower dress circle, making it popular among patrons who want a broader perspective of the performance. The seating in this area can vary in comfort and pricing, often being less expensive than the first dress circle while still providing a good view.
