Theatre is more than just show business!

Theatre is so much more than going to see a show. Theatre is so much more than the gruelling challenges it takes to create it. Theatre is so much more than the big stars and the glitz. Theatre is community. Theatre is stories; the ones on stage and the ones of the vast amount of people it takes to put on a show.

I love theatre because…

Theatre to me is the best way to escape from reality. You enter a theatre, the curtains go up, and you are whisked away for two hours. You are immersed in a story, created so intrinsically in a multitude of layers, and all that exists, is what’s on the stage before you. There’s something so special about being able to switch off from the outside world, all your worries and stresses melting away, and getting utterly captured by the magic of theatre.

Theatre doesn’t begin and end with the show. As an audience, you are connected to other people, going through the same waves of emotions, and for two hours you are one body. That is magic.

If you love theatre too, then be sure to spread that love far and wide. Show your love by supporting theatre and book your tickets. Theatre isn't theatre without its audience.
