Answer 1

C-The Stage Manager takes part in the action.

Step-by-step explanation:

Our Town (1938) is a three-act play by Thornton Wilder. It tells the story of a fictional American town between 1901 and 1913.

The play breaks the "fourth wall" through the stage manager, as he directly addresses the audience in the theatre. He also brings in guests, takes questions from the audience and fills in some of the roles.
