The audience is an integral part of performance and is in fact what separates a rehearsal from a performance. The relationship, however, between performers and the audience has evolved over time, which is one of the subjects addressed, along with the changing disposition of the audience itself and a number of other topics, in Gods and Groundlings, volume 20 of the annual journal Theatre Symposium. The essays in this volume discuss spectatorship in historical context, the role of the audience in the digital age, the early modern English transvestite theatre, Annie Oakley

The Theatrical Event discusses the objectives of theatre studies by focusing on the communicative encounter between performer and spectator-the theatrical event. A theatrical event includes the presentation of a performance and the attention of an audience; in this sense, every performance-on stage or in the street, historical or contemporary-that is watched by an audience is a theatrical event. The concept underlines the "eventness" of all encounters between performers and spectators.In the first part of the book, Willmar Sauter presents various models
