Abstract

With no cuts, no retakes, full on dressed in character's attire, the performing artist and the man behind the curtain that is the director of the play puts in his heart and soul waiting for the feedback from the audience. Theater being direct medium operates on human level with its audience. Though theater has always been facing upheavals and difficulties claiming for the audience but has a beauty of its own. The accomplishment that an artist and the director foresee from the audience is only the curtain falling with a thunderous applause. Theater artists live in a world of their own and are fully passionate about their work. Theater is an art to be felt and experienced. Theater is a live medium of entertainment which engages its audience through creative expression. The artist has the inner picture of who he is playing. The live response of the audience makes it all worth for them.
