Why is theatre important

Community theatre has never been more important for our youth and other performers. They need a place where they can explore the creative aspects of their minds, where they can express their emotions without fear of rejection. A community theatre can bring together local youth and others alike for a common goal: to put on a great production. It can teach everyone about working with one another and bettering themselves as individuals and as a whole. Even the audience can benefit from such an effort, not only in the form of a performance, but because they will get to experience a diverse group of people working together as one
