2. Live theatre performances staged by volunteer actors, which are most often mounted and organized by nonprofit groups or community theater companies.
Community theaters are often found in small towns and cities, and they provide a way for people of all ages to get involved in the theater arts. They also offer a valuable cultural resource for the community, providing opportunities to produce local stories, and plays that reflect the values of the community.
Community theaters typically stage plays that are relatively easy to produce, and they often choose to perform classic plays or musicals that are familiar to audiences. This allows them to keep their production costs low and make their productions more accessible to a wider audience.
