Why theatre? Answers are from our cast, crew and volunteers.
Theatre is one of the highest forms of imagination. A team of people work together to create wondrous worlds and fantastical characters that you can see, hear, touch, and interact with in a real, physical way. Great theatre transports not just the performers but the audience into a realm where, with a lot of practice and a little stage craft, seemingly impossible things happen, not on a screen, but before your very eyes! One of the best things about theatre is that it gives us license to wonder, to explore, and to discover settings and characters that may reflect parts of ourselves in ways we hadn't experienced before.
Theatre is place for expressing yourself and having the ability to be a fiction character you maybe have always wanted to be. Theatre is a place to learn and fulfill dreams of being on stage under the lights and having the hopes of broadway. Theatre is hard work but rewarding in a way not only for you but others around you and for the audience to experience something great.

For us, theatre enables the ability to grow ones emotional intelligence (empathy) and creativity. For those with higher than average emotional intelligence and creativity skills, it also gives an opportunity to challenge them, as well as providing an outlet. In a world that can leave some feeling like an outsider, outcast, or insignificant, theatre shows them even the smallest roles are important. It helps reveal that even if your part of a production is not visually seen or recognized, it's still vital in its outcome. "All of us want to be part of something bigger than ourselves, something that matters." -Daniel H. Pink
Theater is a wonderful thing. It gives opportunities for people to step out of their comfort zone for a while and just be their character. It truly is a lovely experience. And so many incredible friendships are formed throughout the process that could last a lifetime.
