The stage.
The birthplace of the tropes of every performance medium to follow.
[[Older Than Feudalism]], possibly [[Older Than Dirt]], '''Theatre''' is the art of presenting a story to an audience as though it was happening ''right in front of them''. A quantum leap beyond the performance of a single storyteller, it not only required an entire troupe to pull off, but could reach far more people at a single go, making it the ''first'' Mass Medium. Among other things, it invented the concept of [[Special Effects]] and gave birth to [[Reality Is Unrealistic]]. And over the centuries it has only gotten more complex, more sophisticated, and more engaging. A film may be able to overwhelm the viewer with visual spectacle, but a stage performance has an immediacy, a reality (however illusory), that gathers in
For our purposes here at All The Tropes, [[Theatrical Productions]] include not just stage dramas, but also [[Ballet]], [[Opera]], [[The Musical|Musical]]s, and just about anything else that can take place on a stage.
These are the tropes and works of '''Theatre'''.
'''Note:''' Do ''not'' use this category for individual works -- use [[:Category:Theatrical Productions]] instead
