The Theatre

In my English 104 class, we are discussing the theme of exploring the margins. My group will study the representation of racial minorities in the modern world. I decided to go to the theatre to look into the lack of representation and the misrepresentation of race. Do people of other races feel like they have a limited amount of roles to choose from? Do people of other races feel as though they have to act and look more Caucasian to land classic roles? Does color-blind casting change the experience

beginnings of theatre go back far I history. It started by acting out of religious rites portrayed by sings and dances to their gods. It’s believed to be started by the Greeks. “ The very words theatre, drama, tragedy and comedy are Greek in origin”(Brown 13). England has been the center of theatricals for many generations.

Capstone Paper on Aspects of Theatre Introduction Theatre is a collaboration of various forms of fine art which utilizes live performances presenting before the audience on a stage at a specific place within a scheduled time (Dugdale 10).

A recreational activity I enjoy is musical theatre. I am a part of Blackbird, the academy of performing arts. We have three main performances a year and a couple of miniature courses for acting. I have been at Blackbird for the past 7 or 8 years. I believe that this recreational activity has opened up my options for a career. I aspire to go to Broadway and continue my theatre skills. I hope to continue at Blackbird until I graduate high school and are therefore above the age limit. This activity

I am an ideal candidate to study theatre because of my passion for it. This passion drives me to volunteer as much time as possible to the arts ensuring I can learn as much as possible.
