Elements of Drama, Theater, & Acting

Site prepared by Mr. S. Tetreault, Holmdel School District

Theater – the building, structure, or space in which dramatic performances take place.  An alternative spelling is "theatre", which refers to the actual building itself.
 
In its broadest sense theater can be defined as including everything connected with dramatic art—the play itself, the stage with its scenery and lighting, makeup, costumes, acting, and actors.
