Answer :

D. All of the above are new ways of participating in theatre criticism through social media.

  1. Dial Testing: This method involves real-time feedback during performances, where audiences can use devices or apps to rate scenes as they watch. While dial testing is more common in test screenings for movies or television, it can be applied to theatre to gauge audience reactions.

  2. Blogging: Theatre enthusiasts and critics write detailed reviews and thoughts on performances through personal or professional blogs. This allows for in-depth analysis and engagement with readers who can comment and discuss the critique.

  3. Tweet Seats: This concept involves a designated section in the theatre where audience members are allowed to use their devices to tweet about the performance as it unfolds. It helps in promoting live feedback and engagement with a broader audience through platforms.
