Theater is a collaborative art form that combines various elements such as acting, directing, writing, stage design, and music, to tell a story or convey a message to an audience through live performance. It can take place in various venues, including dedicated theater buildings, outdoor spaces, and even non-traditional locations. Theatrical productions can range from scripted plays and musicals to improvisational performances and experimental works.
