Correct answer: C
CONCEPT
Street theatre is a public-performance form staged in open or shared community spaces rather than being confined to a ticketed auditorium.
Its accessible setting and direct style allow it to communicate with a broad and socially diverse audience.
APPLICATION
The stem asks about its reach by age. Because access to a street performance is not limited to one age category, its audience can include children, young adults, middle-aged people, and older adults.
CONTRAST
Only to children narrows the audience to one age group.
Only to the youth narrows the audience to one age group.
People of all age groups expresses the broad community reach of the form.
Only to the elderly narrows the audience to one age group.
CROSS-CHECK
A performance in a shared public space can be encountered by anyone present there; participation is not conditioned on belonging to a particular age group.
Therefore, street theatre appeals to people of all age groups.
