You're welcome, Melanie.
To determine why the props and set of the play have been designed to be minimal, we need to understand the context and purpose of the play. "Our Town" is a famous play written by Thornton Wilder, first performed in 1938. It is a unique play that explores the themes of life, death, and the importance of living in the present moment.
The reason why the props and set have been designed to be minimal is so that the audience can focus on the universal human experience rather than being distracted by elaborate sets and props. The play aims to engage the audience's imagination and encourage them to relate to the characters and their stories.
Now, let's move on to the second question about the role of the Stage Manager in "Our Town." The Stage Manager serves as a narrator and guide for the audience. They provide commentary, introduce the characters, and provide context throughout the play. The Stage Manager also interacts with the characters and helps to move the story forward.
By understanding the purpose and context of the play and analyzing the role of the Stage Manager, we can determine that the correct answer to the question is that the Stage Manager serves as a narrator and guide for the audience.
