Answer 1

(I’m an actor so I know this) but stage lighting is more intense and fades away as you get closer to the wings however everyday light light up and entire space (in my experience this is my point of view however this may be wrong) two types of colors used for theatre are red and blue red is more intense and symbolizes fear are anger are frustration and blue is more soft and sad and loss of hope and for the last one it is important to have sound in the theatre because the audience doesn’t know your script and miming can only get you so for if does more for the senses if you hear the sound you are supposed to be “seeing” it also grabs attention more
