What is Theatre?
"Students who study theatre learn to develop their common sense, their will power, and their courage. They have to, because these qualities are essential to learning the craft of acting, or stage management, or design. theatre students also develop the muscles of their creativity." -Bruce Miller
"To watch a play is to force ourselves to look harder, to pay attention to something that will never exist again. The play is life compressed, and we watch it ferociously, the way we sometimes forget to watch the world around us. Theatre trains us to see voraciously." - Stephen Gregg
"Theatre is a kind of immediate and vivid enactment of the very mystery of human existence." -Vaclav Havel
"It's empathy. When you create that moment between the audience and the people onstage, you're asking the audience to live outside of themselves. You're asking the audience to identify with people they might not normally ordinarily identify with." -Lin-Manuel Miranda
