    Basic Elements of Theatre

    1) Performers
    People onstage presenting characters in dramatic action.
    The audience is coming to see a performer pretend to be someone else. 
    When the actor/actress is on stage, they must be believable as the character 
    they are portraying. If they are not believable, then the audience will be 
    less interested in the production.

    2) 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 can not be witnessed in a movie theater.
    ~ In a live theater experience, when the audience laughs out loud, 
       or cries, then the actors respond to that energy.
    ~ In a movie, there is no connection between the actors and audience, 
       only reactions from the audience.

    3) 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 compliment each other, and the director 
    oversees all these things.

     4) Theater 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.

     5) Design Aspects
    Visual Aspects - costumes, lighting, and some form of scenic background 
    Nonvisual Aspect - sound.

     6) Text 
    A final element essential to theater is the text that is performed, and it 
    must be present for theater to occur. Another name for the text is script. 
    One key element for writing is CONFLICT. The characters should have 
    a goal to reach, but to reach that goal they must go through a series 
    of conflicts. Without conflict the story would be bland and boring. 
    When writing your script, how can you make your story more interesting?
