Also, describe the design elements, tools, and techniques that they manipulate to create their design.This information can be gathered from the text and from interviews with theater designers. Lastly, describe how the process for each of the designers cross over and how they collaborate to solve creative problems. Use chapter 8, 9 and 10 to help support your answer.
  2. Describe the different elements of climactic and episodic plot structure used in theater plays. Provide a clear description for both. Support your answer with examples from a specific theater show for each plot structure. Compare the two structures. What are the benefits and challenges with climactic plot structure? Support your answer with examples from a specific theater shows for each structure. Please refrain from using film or television examples. What are the benefits and challenges with episodic plot structure? And lastly, conclude with which form of storytelling is best for today’s audience and why? (Don’t confuse episodic plot structure with episodes of television. There is some relation here, but an episode of a tv show does not necessarily mean that it has episodic plot structure). Use chapter chapter 3 to help support your answer.
