Interpretative theater is in reference to performing and allowing the audience to interpret the performance as they would like to. There is no right or way to interpretative theater.

This phrase literally means "god from a machine" and refers to old plays in which an actor dressed as a god was lowered by machine on to the stage and would take care of everything that went wrong. It now refers to any literary or dramatic device in which there is a sudden contrived ending.

A really slutty shirt like something that shows some titty. A very short skirt without panties is also recommended.

Were the Victorian era partnership of librettist Gilbert 1836-1911 and composer Sullivan 1842-1900. Together they wrote fourteen comic operas between 1871 and 1896. Possibly the best known are - H.M.S. Pinafore, The Pirates of Penzance, and The Mikado. WS Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan were an English dramatist and musician, respectively, of the late Victorian Era (late 1800s). Although they got along well during much of their collaboration, popular legend holds that they fought all the time. They produced 14 operettas, most of which were very popular when originally presented and several of which have endured as highly popular pieces for more than 100 years. They were also known for dying of getting old and one died when he was saving one of his students that was drowning , he saved her life but he ended up drowning. They wrote songs that came to there mind or what their friends thought of they did plays they thought was fun as well......

A simple example of the "Deus ex machina" motiv: In Sophocles' "Philoctetes", Philoctetes is about to hurt Ulysses and his son Neoptolemus, who came to the island of Lemnos, where Philoctetes was left by the Greek army, because he was hurt, and his wound smelled very bad. The idea to leave him in the island came from Ulysses. Now, Ulysses is sent by Agamemnon, the general of the crusade against the Trojans, to take from Philoctetes his weapons, who were given to him by Hercules himself. Philoctetes gets very frustrated, since he feels betrayed by his own army, and tries to kill Ulysses. At the very end, Hercules, a god himself, appears as "Deus ex machina" and convinces Philoctetes to swallow his anger and give his weapons to Ulysses, who will take them to Agamemnon.

Border Drive-In Theatre was created in 1991.

On June 8, 2014, Audra McDonald received a sixth Tony Award, surpassing five-time winners Angela Lansbury and the late Julie Harris for the most competitive wins by an actress. McDonald won the Leading Actress in a Play award for her portrayal of singer Billie Holiday in "Lady Day at Emerson's Bar & Grill."

Lansbury won her five Tonys in seven nominations. She was the first woman to be nominated in all four actress categories. She won Leading Actress in a Musical for "Mame" (1996), "Dear World" (1969), "Gypsy" (1975) and "Sweeney Todd" (1979). She also was nominated for Leading Actress in a Play for "Deuce" (2007). She won the Featured Actress in a Play award for "Blithe Spirit" (2009) and was nominated for Featured Actress in a Musical for "A Little Night Music" (2010).

Harris, who died August 24, 2013 at the age of 87, won Tonys for "I Am a Camera" (1952), "The Lark" (1956), "Forty Carats" (1969), "The Last of Mrs. Lincoln" (1973) and "The Belle of Amherst" (1977). She also was honored with a special Tony for Lifetime Achievement in the Theater. She remains the most nominated actress ever, with 10 nominations.

McDonald, who has received six Tonys in eight nominations, has now won in every Tony category for an actress. She previously won Leading Actress in a Musical for "The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess" (2012). She won Featured Actress in a Musical awards for "Carousel" (1994) and "Ragtime" (1998), as well as Featured Actress in a Play honors for "Master Class" (1996) and "A Raisin in the Sun" (2004). She was nominated for Leading Actress in a Musical for "Marie Christine" (1999) and "110 in the Shade" (2007).

It was sometimes called "Hell" since people could come up on stage from the understage through a trap door. That's where the witches in Macbeth made their exit and where Mephistopheles in Marlowe's Dr. Faustus entered from. Although of course Dr. Faustus was never played at the Globe Theatre of Shakespeare's day. It was played at The Rose and also at The Fortune, both of which had "Hells" of their own.

The Globe Theatre was only one of many Elizabethan theatres which were all built on similar lines: the Theatre, the Curtain, the Rose, the Swan, the Fortune, and the Hope were all similar theatres at about the same time.

The main difference between 21st century and 16th century theatres is electronics. Our new theatres have many powerful electric lights, controlled by computer, so a variety of effects are possible. Although there were indoor theatres like the Blackfriars which lit the actors by candlelight, most Elizabethan stages were lit by the afternoon sun. Also, we have the ability to amplify voices electronically and add sound effects and music which are played through speakers. In the 16th century, actors had to project their voices (this is still a necessary skill), and sound effects and music had to be created right there in the theatre. It was a sound effect, a cannon (which was, of course, a real cannon) which started the fire which burned down the first Globe Theatre.

In other ways, our modern theatres resemble those of Shakespeare's day more strongly than those of the eighteenth or nineteenth century. Many modern theatres have thrust stages just like the Elizabethan ones, whereas all theatres build in the 18th and 19th century, and well into the 20th, have proscenium arches. The 19th century had a fondness for complex, realistic, and sometimes grandiose sets which were difficult to change. Like Elizabethan theatre, many modern plays and productions make use of minimal sets. 18th and 19th century productions all opened with curtains covering the stage being drawn back. Elizabethan and most modern productions do not have curtains.

However, it is true that issues of makeup, costume and design generally are more carefully considered and more creatively solved than in the 16th century. In part, this is due to our having greater resources, but also because Elizabethans did not consider such issues as being as important as we now do.

Oh, and of course, there were no acresses in Elizabethan England. Only males appeared on stage.

it is important because we can see the theatre groups perform wonderful plays

Folklore is a real thing. It exists in all communities. It consists of rumours, legends, stories, songs, jokes, myths, rituals, customs, stereotypes and all of the (usually) orally transmitted aspects of our culture.

its got better

In a play you have your main cast. In the event that one of those main cast members gets sick and can't perform, the understudy goes on stage instead.

You should not put on a play that has foul language in it. You could do a play such as "Charlotte's Web".

I know that in my school it is the director's son and I that do it. Though, sometimes if you go to rich schools they might hire a professional. If you are talking a big performance, like broadway, then they hire college graduates trained in productions.

When the audience gets to sit and watch a play without being invovled in it.

Since most actor's in Comedia del Arte wore masks, they were later referred to as the "masks".
