Abstract (De)
The article aims at explaining visitors’ overall judgment of a theatrical event. A questionnaire was constructed including the 4 dimensions of the theatrical experience identified by Eversmann (2004): perceptual, cognitive, emotional, and communicative. The authors investigated 125 visitors of a production in a German community theater and confirmed that both the emotional and cognitive dimensions
were determinants of visitors’ overall judgment of a theatrical event. Implications for further research on the theatrical experience are discussed.
