“The study of theatre,
has the capacity to help us reach our full potential
as skilled, functional, ethical members of our culture.
It helps us to become fully human & fully aware of humanity,
to see ourselves & others,
to tell our story & be an intelligent listener & to another person’s story.”
Theatre 2 is a roller coaster ride through the history of theatre…
It is like visiting an amusement park. Each area is its own time period. There are wild rides, shows to see, special snacks, and characters you will want to meet. Get ready for your Theatre adventure where you will discover YOUR space to PLAY…
“The word theatre comes from the Greeks.
It means the seeing place.
It is the place people come to see the truth.
The theatre is a spiritual and social X-ray of its time.
The theatre was created to tell people the truth
about life and the social situation.”
