Document Summary

While drama refers to the script, theatre is an event. It is the presentation of the script performed on a stage by actors for an audience. The script, the literature of the stage, is only one of the factors in a theatre performance. It is a reenactment because it is not really happening for the first time. Theatre is action because something must happen during the event, having a plot and characters, unlike a painting of a sunset or a poem about a lily. Theatre needs human action, of people doing something. Theatre requires more factors than any other art form. If one of these four factors are missing, it will become a rehearsal, an improvisation, a play reading, a broadcast, or a film, and is not theatre. Four basic elements for a theater event to occur: Actors needed for the reenactment; portray characters, deliver dialogue, performing action. Script is the blueprint telling them what to say and do.
