Theatre probably originated without texts, but by the time we get to the classical Greek period, theatre has become text-based.

Theater is about language, so characters have to define themselves through language for an audience.

But theater, because of its nature, both text, images, multimedia effects, has a wider base of communication with an audience. That's why I call it the most social of the various art forms.

Music is rhythm, and all theater is rhythm. It's about tempo and change and pulse, whether you're doing a verse play by Shakespeare or a musical.

Theater represents to me this phenomenon in juxtaposition to real life, where there are all these imposed guidelines.

I think that theater is a unique way to communicate with people as they gather together with other people they may not even know. It creates a sense of shared community for the time of the performance that hopefully carries over into other aspects of the audience's life because they have shared this experience together.

It's communication - that's what theatre is all about.

In our own, theatre can be the place where we come together, reaching with and through stories, to who we are and to who we can be.

Theatre is live content, and you can tell if you have worked your audience.

The drama may be called that part of theatrical art which lends itself most readily to intellectual discussion: what is left is theater.
