The fourth wall protects its audience. Yet that sense of safety runs the risk of creating a certain complacency in theater-goers, a lack of engagement in the living, breathing being gesticulating before them onstage. Theater is not an interrogation room. It is not an aquarium. And it is most certainly not a television set. Theater should implicate its audiences, make them complicit in the performance onstage. They are as integral to the show as the actors are, so why dim the lights and hide in the shadows? -Clay McLeod Chapman, #TCG14, bit.ly/1uznePb
