Solo performances may do well on a thrust stage, as will performances that require a greater amount of intimacy with the audience: dramas. Performances that little use of props or small/no sets may also benefit from thrust stages, because the function of a thrust stage is to bring the performer(s) closer to the audience. Sets and props are not needed for certain performances.
