Importance of Theatre in Our Society
The Importance of Theatre in Our Society Professional Communications February 24, 2004 The Importance of Theatre in Our Society Theatre is my true passion. ... I believe that without some form of theatre in our society, humanity is doomed to a cold, technological and emotionally repressed existence. In the theatre, humanity in its truest form is being expressed. Everything that we as humans experience, emotions ranging from love to hate, and from sex to violence is being celebrated, examined and come to terms with, in the theatre. ... I believe the performing arts are the medicine to help “therapy” society’s ills. Theatre improves society and the world by opening up our hearts and minds to each other, by learning to look into us, and by bringing our creative and imaginative minds together.
