Be specific and back up your answer with not only your own opinion but with information from your textbook reading.

a. Does the way theatre is used in the case study meet the textbook's definition/description of the "Basic Elements" (beginning on page 5) of theatre? Why/why not? Be specific and back up your opinion with information from your textbook reading.

3. On page 45 of your textbook, Theatrical Worlds, the authors give you an example of "Tweet Seats" at Quebec's Theatre du Nouveau Monde.
