Theatre is taught in schools
Not because you are expected to major in theatre,
Not because you are expected to perform all through life,
Not so you can relax,
Not so you can have fun,
But
So you will recognize BEAUTY,
So you will be SENSITIVE,
So you will be closer to an INFINITE BEYOND THIS WORLD,
So you will have more LOVE,
More COMPASSION,
More GENTLENESS,
More GOOD,
In short,
More LIFE.
Of what value will it be to make a prosperous living unless you know how to live?
That is why theatre is taught in our schools.
I enjoyed reading this post because it explains how theater can help students build confidence, creativity, and communication skills. It reminded me of school activities where performing in front of others felt scary at first but became easier with practice. Around that time, I also had an oil change done before a long family trip, which taught me how small preparations can prevent bigger problems. Both experiences showed me why being prepared really matters.
