Interactive theatre is a presentational or theatrical form or work that breaks the “fourth wall” that traditionally separates the performer from the audience both physically and verbally. Interactive Theater is not made for only entertainment, it is often produced to illustrate real-life political and moral debates. Interactive theater allows the audience to becomes completely immersed as participating actors and the spectator to become the primary reason for the production. The audience is given the opportunity to become the main characters on the stage, and can also interact with the actors.
