**WHAT IS THIS THING CALLED THEATRE**?

 * EXCITING
 * EDUCATION
 * CHALLENGING
 * DEMANDING
 * FUN!!!

Theatre is also the dramatic expression of ideas and feelings, of concepts and moods. It is often entertaining, but demands intense concentration and work from even the most amateur of performers. No piece of theatre can be a success unless everyone involved is committed to working hard, as well as working together as a team.
