• Elements of Theater


  • Performers
  • Audience
  • Director
  • Space
  • Visual Aspect
  • Script
• Performers


  People onstage presenting characters in dramatic action. When the actor/actress is on stage, they must be believable as the character they are portraying.
• Audience


  The essence of theater is the interaction between the performer and audience. Theater needs to be experienced live. There is a "call and response" atmosphere that cannot be witnessed in a movie theater. In a movie, there is no connection between the actors and audience, only reactions from the audience.
• Director


  The director makes certain that the performers understand the text and deliver the script excitingly and appropriately. The director also makes sure the blocking, costume designs, set designs and other aspects of the show blend together to make a production that works together. All the aspects of theater should complement each other, and the director oversees all these things.
• Space


  Another necessary element of theater is the space in which performers or audiences come together. It is essential to have a stage, or some equivalent area, where actors and actresses can perform. It is also essential to have a place for audience members to sit or stand.
