'''Theater''' or '''Theatre''' (from French "''théâtre''", from [[Greek]] "theatron", ''θέατρον'' a public spectacle or venue for such spectacle) is a form of [[art]] in which one person or a group of persons all pretend to be people they are not, and act out stories that may or may not have a basis in fact, for the entertainment, instruction, indoctrination, or [[Propaganda|propagandization]] of other people. Classically, the term ''theater'' refers to actors performing on a stage in the physical presence of their viewers, or the venue in which they do this. More broadly, theater includes any form of acting-out, whether one does it "live," in a [[motion picture]], or on [[television]]. It also includes a variety of forms that use [[music]] and/or [[dance]] to tell a story, and other forms that include no dialogue at all and involve one performer, or two or three, using gestures only to give an impression of an emotion or emotions.
