one characteristic of ______ is that each performance is unique and occurs in the presence of an audience.
theatre

Explanation:

First Question (Which of the following is NOT a necessary component of a theatrical event?)

• An audience is necessary for a theatrical event as theater is a live performance for viewers.
• A script provides the basis for the performance (even improvisational theater has a loose structure/concept, but a script - like framework).
• Theatre space is needed for the performance to take place.
• Music is not essential; many plays or theatrical events can occur without music (e.g., a straight play with only dialogue). So music is not a necessary component.

Theatre is a live art form where each performance is unique due to the live interaction between performers and audience, and the presence of an audience is a key aspect of theatre (as opposed to film, which is recorded). So the blank should be filled with "theatre".

Answer:

B) music
