What does theatre mean to you?

Theatre is a platform to share voices that aren’t always heard and also to be creative in sharing those voices.
Theatre is a way to escape – to be taken to a different world for a couple of hours and be immersed in its culture and characters.
The liveness of theatre is a way of communicating that nothing else can really do.
I love the direction theatre is going in – pushing boundaries of what’s accepted and what’s not accepted! I get excited just thinking about it.
Theatre is a really good way to express yourself. So many of your feelings can be explored in a fun, interesting way.
Theatre builds your confidence – it’s a great way to express your emotions.
I like theatre because it’s another world you can escape to from everything else that’s going on.
Theatre can be used as a platform for expressing opinions, political views, expressing yourself or expressing something that wouldn’t get heard otherwise.
Theatre for me means connection and experiencing other people’s stories. I am really nosy so I love getting to have access to all of these different worlds with all of these different people.
I enjoy theatre because it has the real opportunity to change people’s lives and act as a vessel of social critique in an artful and inspiring way.
I like theatre because I love to live different lives through the different characters I play. I get to explore the different characteristics and see parts of myself in them that I didn’t know were there.
