audience

An audience is a group of people who gather to consume, participate in, or encounter a work of art, performance, literature, or digital media. Derived from the Latin word meaning “to hear,” the term has evolved from traditional theater listeners to encompass broad modern categories like digital website visitors, book readers, and game players.
