Theatre Is Life
Theatre is a cultural phenomenon that demands that society examines itself in the mirror. Sharing an experience with live actors andbaudience members is not only valuable, it’s necessary for human connection. As artists, we put ourselves into emotional and intellectual situations that may never arise in our personal lives. Theatre promotes us to give power to truth, to take risks and to advocate for new and diverse voices.
