Expression
Theatre teaches us how to express ourselves effectively. It helps
develop our ability to communicate our thoughts and feelings to
others, improving our relationships.
History
Theatre mirrors the past, present, and future of our world. It makes
history come alive right before our eyes, giving audiences a chance to
connect with history. It makes learning fun for all ages.
Social Development
Theatre helps us understand people from cultures other than our own.
We can learn a lot about people from all around the world by studying
their performance traditions.
Creativity
Theatre helps us to tap into our most creative self. As our education
system increasingly puts an emphasis on science, technology,
engineering, and math, we cannot forget the importance of art.
Community
For a performance to happen, at any audience level, people need to
gather in one place for a couple of hours, and witness an event that
may be beautiful, funny, moving, and thought-provoking. In an age
where most of our communication happens in front of a screen, bringing
people together for a positive experience is something that matters.
