Importance Of Theatre Characters In My Life

We often forget how much theatre impacts our lives. There are many lessons that we learn through performance and watching others make mistakes we ourselves might have made at some point in our lives. Theatre is more than just Shakespeare and funny costumes. IT has recently become a pop culture phenomenon. Today, Broadway productions range from live-action Disney adaptations to historical figures brought back to life. No matter the setting, theatre is a very powerful thing that we can all learn from

“The world of the theatre is a world of sharper, clearer, swifter impressions than the world we live in.” (Jones 115) It is hard to describe the feeling of helping to create a new world and seeing it come to life in front of an audience. It’s like watching a book come to life, or a film happen right before your eyes, but more real, more tangible and exciting and extraordinary. Robert Edmond Jones’s book The Dramatic Imagination focuses not only on the technical aspects of theatre and how it should

of the work in a group project, in my case it was building a lego robot in the 6th grade. My partner and I had a blast dreaming up the possibility of bringing a robot to class for a project about industrial technology, but that same passion was not transferred to the workload. I relate to being the domineering partner also, through many cultural presentation in the 9th grade where I insisted on controlling the direction of everything the group was doing.

Children's Theatre is designed for a younger audience and often displays, performances of well known stories that derive from folk tales and fairy tales. Many children's theatre productions contain a moral that will educate their audience on topics both big and small such as talking to strangers or the importance of being kind.

But being “talented” isn’t what makes a successful artist. The industry has created a skewed vision of “success”. Many consider a successful artist to be simply talented, but I believe it goes beyond talent. One’s work ethic and character should be equally if not more prioritized than talent. Though talent is completely necessary, one must

Bertolt Brecht was a director and playwright, born on February 10th 1898 in Augsburg Germany. Throughout his life he disagreed strongly with his father’s bourgeois lifestyle, this may have changed his writing technique and powered his political views portrayed in his work. Brecht studied medicine in 1918 at Munich University where he was then appointed a medical orderly during the First World War. Influenced by the monstrosities war brought to his attention, Brecht wrote many poems reflecting his

needed to pursue a major in theatre. I'd previously considered theatre more of a hobby that I couldn't allow to interfere with my other schoolwork, then warmed up to potentially minoring in theatre, but after I spent almost my entire summer in an acting program and finally had the opportunity to immerse myself in studying theatre without worrying about my everyday schoolwork, I realized there was no other option for me. I love the idea of playing different characters, telling a story, and endowing

In the play the use of fragments other than the use of scenes makes you think about the unjust political situation at the time in an ambiguous way for it is not an organized thought process, leaving you as the reader or the audience feeling overwhelmed as to what actually was the problem is at the time.

Upon reading the essay topic, I was planning on playing devil’s advocate - I was going to write about how I believe there is very little truth behind theatre. In fact, I thought I had a relatively convincing argument.
