When it comes to traditional forms of theater like Taiwanese Opera, glove puppetry, shadow puppetry, or marionette theater, most have lost their audience and are past their prime, still respected for their religious and cultural significance but not really looked to as entertainment.
提起歌仔戲、布袋戲、皮影戲、傀儡戲等傳統戲曲，多數早已淪為「敬神不娛人」、失去觀眾的夕陽行業。
