Abstract
Theater is a cultural activity of leisure. Some past descriptive studies have mainly focused on analyzing the issue of attendance of individuals with regard to the theater, only a few (perhaps none) have elected to try to understand the deep reasons that characterize producers’ specific relations with respect to the theater. This exploratory study, based upon a phenomenological approach, is primarily concerned with the understanding of the semantic network that underlies this activity within the temporal and spacial cognitive frameworks of producers of theater. The inductive analyses run are based upon in-depth question/answer sessions conducted with thirteen producers well-known in Paris. Through these analyses the individuals’ motivations and attitudes towards their jobs are identified by three specific categories according to their perceived role : “imprint”, “transmission” and “springing up”. Because marketing is the exchange relationship between producers and customers, these results are finally compared with the categories induced by Bergadaà and Nyeck for theater spectators.
