Proscenium Theater
The proscenium is the most typical stage formation for theaters. The audience only sits in front of the stage and the stage is framed on sides and the top like a picture. Most Broadway theaters are set up this way. Probably your high school auditorium was set up with a proscenium stage.

The Fourth Wall
The Fourth Wall is a term to describe the invisible wall between the audience and the actors on-stage. This is because in proscenium theaters, the set was usually three walls of a room. The audience was therefore "The Fourth Wall," and ignored by the actors. When an actor addresses the audience directly, it is called "Breaking the Fourth Wall."
