The Harmony of Audiences & Actors

Before it beings the guide of the play comes and gives some instruction.

The audience member who is asked this question has to answer hat want to go. Anything can be fine in this play. You can be a famous Hollywood star, a dance group member, a painter, or a reporter. The director also picks the main characters of this play from among the audience. After sharing the roles, the director brings all the audience members who have a role and ask them to act out something. At first, they are shy and do not know what to do. However, a person who has the role of a dance group member will start gesturing like an idol and dance on the stage. Then, all the funny things they do. Then the director leaves and other actors come out to watch. Then Act I is over. There are many small one-act plays in You Are the Hero and each of them has a different concept.
