The Theatre Community Analysis

I’ve adored theatre for as long as I can remember. From writing plays throughout elementary school, to being involved in Drama Club in middle school, to performing in community theatre in high school, and to visiting the theatre as often as I could from the very beginning, theatre has always been a part of my life. Every aspect of it engages me: the directors working to bring their vision of the show’s scenes, choreography, or music to life, the actors transforming into different characters through their expression of dialogue, song, or dance, the costumers and set-builders transporting the audience into the setting and time period with their artistry, the backstage tech and crew working quickly and precisely to keep the show flowing to curtain call, and the orchestra bringing the show to life through music. There is nothing like the experience of live theatre, both as a member of the audience and as a member of the cast and crew.

Above all, I wouldn’t be where I am today without theatre. Without the chance to perform throughout my life, I would be disconnected from the wide array of communities and histories that’s been imbedded in my daily routine. Unfortunately, it’s speculated that the theatre is a dying art form, because of the expanding popularities of movies (“Is”), but I think that it’ll remain a well renowned part of expressing imagination and interpreting history as years pass; it only takes cooperation with school faculty and young students that go above and beyond to change their

A craft that was thought only for the rich has been marketed to children in schools, to their parents and tickets are now more affordable. People are drawn to this style of entertainment. There are theater lingo’s like break a leg, the show must go on, dim the lights and curtain calls. I believe in times of struggle the theatre is a form of escape for the masses and has been an escape method throughout history. Theatre has continued to live on from the birth of American theatre to modern theatre and continuing on now to the future through the progression of acting, design and technology.

Ever since I can remember I have loved theatre. It’s been a constant presence, and an important touchstone, in my life. However, for as long as I’ve loved theatre, I have also been ridiculed for my enjoyment of it. As a child, my interest was tolerated as something precious, something I was bound to grow out of. My parents and teachers would sit in the audience, clapping and cheering me on, all the while thinking to themselves “I bet she’ll make a great lawyer one day.” They thought, like most of society, theatre was an unnecessary luxury; a pastime for the rich and powerful, for those who didn’t have to worry about putting food on the table, or clothes on their children’s backs. Certainly not

The Broadway Theatre will discuss possible shows for the 2016-2017 season at a play selection committee meeting October 5. This is open to the public and will begin at 7:00 p.m. at the Broadway Theatre 216 East Broadway.

As a volunteer at the People’s Bank Theatre, not only have I been welcomed into a new part of the community here in Marietta but a new family as well. Under the direction of the volunteer coordinator Sarah Eels, the volunteers operate in a very harmonious manner where each volunteer is able to thrive individually to wholly contribute to the group. Within this essay, I will discuss both how the theatre’s adaptability and relationship to the community correspond to Morgan’s idea of organizations working as organisms.

All of the theatre kids are close. We are not ashamed of who we are and can have fun while getting what needs to be done, done. Everyone

The theater is the attempt to bring together various human experiences and to project onto ourselves and others. Theater can range be dark, funny, and thought-provoking. It emphasizes human interaction, which in turn helps people can express themselves. Furthermore, it encourages public speaking and brings people together. I enjoy theater because it influences the way we think and feel about our own lives. In addition, it encourages us to take a look at our values and behavior. Participating in the Open Doors Theater Scholarship gives me the excellent opportunity to explore theater arts, learning more about communications, human relation skills, and the world around us. I am passionate about extending my experiences and taking advantage of

A goal of mine would be to work for my own theatre. The name of the theatre would be UCT (Uniting the Community Theatre), and the location would be in my hometown of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Fort Lauderdale, is a diverse city filled with various people from different countries. Although Fort Lauderdale is diverse in terms of culture, the city lacks artistic spirit. Most residents don’t get excited when a Broadway production comes to town, and there are only a few residents that go to Broadway productions. The main reasons for lack of interest could be the price of tickets, or the residents cannot relate to the plays.

I want to create a place where people feel accepted and included; where there is such a thing, I want to ensure that those ideals prevail, perseverate - in a healthy way, of course - within the community. When I first stepped into the world of theater, the community theater that I preformed with seemed loving, and though many were, being a much more soft-spoken fourth grader, without a lead role, without a familiar face, didn't exactly make me very many friends. As a freshman within my high school drama program, I found myself talking to, as well as befriending seniors - people with the leading role. I had never felt more welcome, nor seen my confidence shoot so high. At Stevenson, I will advocate for an environment where students feel encouraged,

I benefit in many ways from musical theatre. Through musical theatre I have meet similar theatre nerds like my friend Taryn, or my other friend Avery, or my other friend Sterling. I have been introduced to on and off Broadway musicals

Many kids grow up with the wish of becoming a famous star. Whether it is a movie star, being on Disney channel, becoming a pop star and selling out stadiums, or for spending their life on the Broadway stage. While it is a known fact that while many want to live in this prestigious world, only a small percentage of the people actually can make a living in this business. Many actors live paycheck to paycheck, and even if they become big in the business they may not know where their next job will be. But most do the business for their love of the art, not for the money of fame. Theater becomes a therapy for me as well as other people, whether it is performing in a show or it is seeing your favorite show live on stage.

Theatre in the Community Britain in 1979 was a place of great change and division. Although the country had united in the election of Margaret Thatcher as the first Conservative woman Prime minister by the early 1980’s one could say that the country was spiralling into a state of decline. This was largely due to the disarray of the previous Labour government and the implementation of the Conservative government’s robust style of economic management. All spheres of social and cultural life were to be judged on their economic terms and values. This is particularly true within the Arts.

You can walk into any theatre classroom at any given time and you’re pretty much guaranteed to see singing, dancing, and/or people laughing. After shows are strikes, which meant taking apart the set and putting it away; this process generally too about a week. It was some of the most fun times though. All the stress of the show was gone, and we would just laugh and have a good time, trying on the shows wigs, unscrewing the set pieces (which is surprisingly therapeutic), and when we were done we would watch a movie. All these brought us together. Theatre kids become a family. We’re there for each other, even if we don’t do it on purpose. I remember one day I was having a horrible day, I failed a test, fought with my dad, and didn’t get any sleep the night before. I walked into my last class of the day, theater, and automatically felt better when I saw my friends laughing, and one of them was even trying to do some weird acrobatics on a chair. Being in that fun up beat environment made me forget all about my problems and I just had

The Public Sphere within theatre was a concept that was first delineated by philosopher Jurgen Habermas in his book titled The structural transformation of the public sphere, in which he refers to the right that all citizens hold, the right to participate and engage into discussions on public matters of interest and public issues. Habermas writes: “the audience does not constitute a space for spectators and listeners but a space for speakers and addresses who engage in debate.” (Habermas in Balme 2012). The Public sphere has now become a space, a stage, for performers, speakers and protesters to have a voice rather than for the preliminary use of entertainment for the audience, spectators and listeners.
