Theatre wiki Mission To promote the creation, performance, and appreciation of all aspects of theatre. Definition Theatre is a form of entertainment whereby a story, theme, or sensation is expressed through a combination of acting, song, sounds, movement, dance, and physical objects. Theatre usually implies a live event, usually involves humans, and is almost always intended to be performed before a live audience. Sub-genres Musical theatre has its origins in operetta and vaudeville, and shares some characteristics from both these genres. Musical Revue is light entertainment comprising a patchwork of sketches and songs often based on a theme, but without a strong story line. A play with music usually has more spoken dialogue than song and dance. Jukebox Musicals are a compilation of individual songs already made famous by a songwriter or band, strung together by a (usually weak) story. Rock Opera is a through-sung musical using pop music. Pantomime is theatrical entertainment for the family, usually a farce or burlesque, where songs and dance feature prominently. You Write: Here are original works written by the users of this site.
