The easiest way for an actor to involve the audience in with the play is through asides. An aside is ' a piece of dialog intended for the audience and supposedly not heard by the other actors on the stage.' (www.dictionary.com). Another good way for the actor to involve and interact with the audience is through role playing. Role playing is the best way to involve the audience directly.

It seemed that as our group talked about Birds in terms of actor/spectator interaction, we all agreed that it was important to the success of the play.The way plays were set up in Aristophanes' day, the act of the chorus was to involve the audience or spectators. Although the chorus is not part of the main acting parts, they still play an important role because of the simple fact that they do involve the audience.

A good example of the chorus “talking” to the audience and involving them is the first parabasis of Aristophanes’ Birds. Here the chorus stops the show to tell the story of how the birds were born into the world. Although the story itself is not a part of the actual play, it is an important part to the understanding of the play. The interaction between actor and spectator is integral to the running success and the understanding of the play.
