Personal expression: creativity; creative engine to create; perspective. 1 performer and 1 audience member (that is why it is different) There is a series of actions; there is a passage of time. Director: guides the play to its opening; in charge of creative components. Producer: makes sure the production happens; they fund it 1160$ Each genre has different traits and evokes different emotional responses. Helps to understand the play and the feeling that the playwright intends you to have. You feel good because the story ends the way you want it to. The values you hold to be important are reaffirmed.

The improbable happens which liberates the audience because the constraints we live with are abandoned. Example: multiple couples go into house and go into different rooms but then find each other naked.
