Participatory theatre is a form of theatre in which the audience interacts with the performers or the presenters. Classroom exercises often include elements of participatory theatre.

In the United States, avant-garde organizations invite audience members to the stage. Often, performers would socialize with audience members before the show while seating them. Then, they would surprise these members by inviting them to the stage.
