Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Today computers help the backstage staff run the show. Computerized light and soundboards can store and run a large number of complicated light and sound cues. Large theatres use computerized motion-controlled systems to effect and regulate set changes. Computers are more predictable than equipment that requires manual labor and are thus more cost-efficient for large productions. They are also able to produce more sensational and cinematic effects. Computers give directors greater control of their work by bringing reliability and precision to lighting cues. On the other hand, potential problems include breakdowns technical glitches and computer failures during performance, which can wreak havoc on a production.
