Theatre Questions?
Ricky is correct (as are the first 2 to answer...)





"Theatre" and "Theater" are different-- "er" refers to the building or space, while "re" is the company or the concept.





The builder and producer are not involved with guiding the artisic aspects of the play, and the stage manager carries out the directors will/organizes.





An actor would not be cast on the naturalness of their delivery because they are playing a character, and the other aspects listed are much more influential.





Stage business is the "choreographed" behavior. The others aren't really close in definition.





The pieces listed are fixed stage scenery, as opposed to hand props, which are moved and handled by the actors.
Reply:I have the answers to these questions you have posted, but why does it seem like you have copied and pasted a part of an assignment in as a question? I will gladly assist you in your questoins, but I would like to know why you want these answers. I do not want to give you easy answers to a homeowrk assignment or take home test.


Thankyou.
Reply:I agree with Kurious Kat. There are some questions you really should look up. We do you a disservice by doing your homework for you. These are such basic theatrical questions that it makes it obvious you are a novice. One does not learn by copying but through research. This is one for the old-fashioned method. Go to the library.

Reply:I must respectfully disagree with MK on what a director looks for. I, and all the directors I know, could not care less about the history of previous performances (don't care how someone else did it - I only care how you do it), but we do examine the naturalness of the delivery. I need to believe that this person is this character. If it feel forced and put upon, chances are I will not consider them.
