Question

which is a trait of readers theater?○ the audience members read aloud from books they have brought.○ the audience becomes actively involved in the play in some way.○ the actors read or recite lines before an audience with no setting.○ the actors speak spontaneously without rehearsing beforehand.

Explanation:

Readers' theater is a style of performance where actors present a script by reading or reciting their lines, typically without elaborate sets, costumes, or blocking. The key trait is the focused, scripted reading for an audience with minimal staging.

• The first option is incorrect because audience members do not read aloud in readers' theater.
• The second option is incorrect as the audience is not actively involved in the performance itself.
• The fourth option is incorrect because readers' theater uses a prepared script, so lines are not spontaneous or unrehearsed.

Answer:

The actors read or recite lines before an audience with no setting.
