Trace the creation of professional theatre. In what contexts in contemporary America is professional theatre produced? What may account for decreasing audiences for professional theatre in the twentieth century and today?

What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

You are a playwright whose latest play is expected to be a major success. In anticipation of a good reception, a talk show asks you to be their guest.

While on the show, the host comments on how you've been editing the script for a long time but now the script is being sent to the theatre for the production. The host then asks if you are permanently finished editing the play, if you'll stop making edits during the production process, or before the publishing company publishes the play, or if you'll never be done editing. The most appropriate response to this question is that you will stop editing:A. During the production.
B. Before the play is published.
C. Never.
D. None of these choices.
