Village-town theater
- tries to create some plays according to the needs of some local sponsors or stakeholders
- the message is not necessary a big objective…the subject has to be important for somebody
- the amateurs actors are doing it for a future carrier, for some friends, for loosing time, for attention
- people learn some text already done before for them
- any sudden change is disorganizing the group ….a big rigidity for the text and context
- the director is doing it for money ….and some passion for the theatre in general
- people pay to see one of this play
- take place in theater building or cultural centers;
- the results are : some personal development of the team members, some nice evening time for some village/ little town habitants, some publicity to some companies, and maybe if is real successful some manipulation of the public in some political directions;
