“Opportunity is not a lengthy visitor,” observed James Lapine. Theatre is one of these opportunities, but how the experiences impact, contributions, and lessons are utilized lasts forever. Theatre impacted me in multifarious ways including helped me come out of my shell and empathy.

    “If theatre were available during the school day for all students, it would allow most students to experience the joy of theatre, even those who wouldn’t necessarily try it outside of school.” For Mueller, theatre has proven an integral part of her education, identity, and now even her career. A 2008 State High alumna, she reflects on her SCASD experience: “My best memories are from high school when I had the opportunity to sing in many choirs and perform with the State High Thespians,” said Mueller.…

    The Great Depression was a severe worldwide economic depression that took place mostly during the 1930’s. It began after the stock market crash of October 1929, which wiped out millions of investors. Consumer spending and investment dropped causing millions of Americans to become unemployed. Because of many unemployed workers, Franklin D. Roosevelt created the New Deal program to fund theatre and other live artistic performances. The federal Theatre Project (FTP) was created not only as a cultural activity, but as a relief measure to employ artists, writers, directors, and theatre workers.…

    “In order to innovate, you must play with fire”, Tony award winning director, Julie Taymor, often expresses. To make something new and create, one must be willing to play with the unknown. To do what is dangerous and expose himself or herself truthfully for the sake of play. As an actor, there must always be this curiosity to play with fire and do what is unexpected not only to the audience member, but the actor as well. This risk is the most difficult challenge to any artist for they must harness courage within themselves to go into the unknown and reap the benefits of their adventure.…

    For the Love of Theater We live in an era where society has fallen into the pit of the digital age, as electronics, more times than not, control how we visualize life and communicate with others. As a result, there has been a downfall of handwritten and live performance mediums, as instantaneous entertainment and connection like online messengers, texting, email, television and movies fulfill this necessity. However, little does society realize the dwindling of such arts has resulted in fewer personal connections, fewer chances to develop empathy for another, and fewer moments of self-discovery. Consequently, the lack of participation in these mediums will contribute to the ignorance of society at large. Therefore, in my letter, I focus on how theater is beneficial for its ability to shape people’s perspectives on society, and how…

    Writing in Theater For people who have only been witnesses to the art of theater, many do not see all of the time and work that goes into a single production. To start, there’s the actual script writing. Then there’s getting the script published, getting a company to pay for the show, auditioning for the characters, casting the show, memorizing lines, writing blocking, writing set ideas, building the set, starting production, and so much more! So much time and effort goes into it, but it’s a beautiful pain to endure, and that’s why I love theater so much.…

    Despite having high self-esteem and what some might even consider an immodest demeanor, I rarely feel so pleased with myself as when I pretend to be someone else. As a child, this fascination for impersonation developed when I played games with other kids in which we pretended to be knights, superheroes, and other classic children’s fantasies. I loved these divertissements, but it wasn’t until I was chosen for the lead role as a cursed hunter in my class play when I was six that I realized I had found something I was truly passionate about. The surge of adrenaline I felt before my first show in front of a live audience and the excitement of being someone else onstage was exhilarating. It was patently clear that acting would become a lifelong interest.…

    I cannot remember a moment of my life where theatre has not been important for me. Being involved from a young age, I was destined to be on stage. It was not until I entered high school when I realized how difficult theatre can be; actors cannot go on stage without understanding the play, designers cannot outline anything without the proper information, and a director cannot direct without a grasp on the themes and ideas of the show. It all comes down to the research for the production. Without this literacy practice of research, no one can put on the literacy event of a performance.…

    The heat from the stage lights, the watchful gazes of the audience, and the sweat dripping off of our faces as we struggle to remember our lines, these sensations of being on stage are what caused the performing arts to become not only an activity, but also a passion and an unexpected source of personal growth. Through my experiences in drama and music I have been able to discover my own meaning of fulfillment and define who the person behind my appearance truly is. My passion in the performing arts started when I was a young child first learning to play the violin. Picking up the violin at the age of 6, I became stuck on one of the most basic songs for almost a whole year. At that time no one believed that I could play the violin, my teacher thought that I was too hyperactive and even my mom attempted to convince me to quit.…
