Question

Wilder's nontraditional staging methods are continued in Act II when the Stage Manager _____.

speaks to the audience
leaves the stage
talks directly to the other characters
portrays two other characters

Answer 1

portrays two other characters

Usually the Stage Manager of a show does not even appear on the stage, but Our Town is full of unconventional staging. In Act II, the Stage Manager goes even further from addressing the audience as he has in Act I, to actually playing two characters. He plays Mr. Morgan and the Minister in this act.
