Whatever the topic, a good production will clarify its subject. The scenery, costumes and lighting must help transport the audience into the place and time of the play. It all must be visually appealing. In cases where the production elements are minimal, the production must stimulate the audiences' imaginations. Theatre for young audiences must entertain by provoking thought, bringing new ideas to light or help the audience look at a facet of life in a new or different way.
Good theatre inspires discussion.
