 Applied to theatrical performances the distinction between aesthetics and artistry seems solid enough even if we have no final determination of how to explain the distinction. Yet, no matter how we work that out, it seems that spectators and critics will need to provide and explain a rather complicated set of things; for now it appears they must provide both aesthetic and artistic evaluations. This is made more complicated in those cases in which the artistic achievements a work makes do consist in provision of preferred experiences. Moreover, focusing just on the artistic appreciation of theatrical performances and accepting the achievement story about what the artistic value of a work of art is, there are still two further tasks. If theatrical texts and performances are works belonging to different forms of art, then artistic evaluations of theater will still come in two kinds, namely, the achievements of dramatic texts, and the achievements of performances.
