Interning at the Green Room Community Theatre didn’t feel like work, it was an amazingly fun experience with great instructors and interns. My expectations going in on the first day were more than exceeded especially after I met David Townsend which is an incredible role model.

Erin Johnson Why Not Theatre? THR121-004 February 2nd 2015 Why Not Theatre? Not everyone is interested in attending the theatre. Theatre has been struggling more lately to remain strong and live up to the pressures of other forms of art such as film, books, and music.

home. I am fortunate enough to have called the stage my home. Theatre has been a vital part of my life since my early childhood. As a child, going to Broadway musicals such as Phantom of the Opera, The Lion King, and Wicked was a common outing for my family and me. Seeing these musicals, along with other famous block busters in New York City, continue to inspire me to perform with the various theatre communities in Staten Island. Theatre has instilled in me the values of taking pride in my hard work

As a member of and leader within the International Thespian Society, there is a saying from Alexander Pope that drives me every day to meet my goals both in and outside of theatre: “act well your part, there all the honor lies.” As my time in high school theatre comes to an end, I think of what these words will mean to me in the future and how they will continue to shape me, as they have done so for many years. I would not be the kind, compassionate, and outgoing spirit that I am today without the

being a tiny little third grader at her first theatre camp at the high school. I remember feeling a mixture of emotions, mainly because I was a shy child who had yet to come out of her shell, but I was immediately welcomed to the inviting family that theatre is.

present in theatre (Vosu, 2010: online). There is always something drama-like in human social behaviour and, in turn, theatre resembles our real lives, since they represent it in one way or the other (Turner, 1990: 13). By studying theatre performances, we can then inspect the ways humans and societies have been represented, but also what these people, their knowledge, values and relations to the society have been like.

I just wanted to be famous.” A line said by the illustrious Katharine Hepburn that accurately helps to describe how she felt about her early career and about, more specically, the ideals of The Group Theatre.
