theatre? Explain why or why not.

2) Do you consider a priest giving a sermon to a

congregation theatre? Explain why or why not.

3) Do you consider a live sporting event to be
theatre. Explain why or why not.

Answer 1

1. A politician would need enormous number of listeners. A theatre will always restrict the number of listeners which is not favourable for a politician as his agenda is to influence maximum number of citizens available for support.

2. A priest’s Sermon can be theatered. This is because the speech is not meant for all. It is made available only to those who believe in religion and religious talks made by speech. This would need only a limited number of seating capacity.

3. A live sporting event is most often not conducted on a theatre. However sports events like UFC was recently conducted on a theatre. So is the case with many pro wrestling events which are also found to be conducted in theatre with limited audience capacity.
