Go to http://www.google.com and put in the words "audience" and "theater". Go through the list of hits you receive. What type of sites does the search yield, and how many of the hits are appropriate in the discussion of theater audiences in Chapter 1? Identify three sites that could be used in a discussion of the audience's role in the theater experience.
In order to be in a theater audience, you must first get to the show. With the advent of new technologies, buying tickets, touring theaters, and finding information is as easy as sitting at a computer. Visit the site for the new Globe Theater in London at http://www.shakespeares-globe.org/. Examine how "user-friendly" this site is with regards to the audience. Does it include all of the necessary information? A virtual tour? How "theatrical" is the website itself?
