My main concern is theater, and theater does not reflect or mirror society. It has been stingy and selfish, and it has to do better.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think theater is a core need of a community.
It's a shame how a lot of actors use theater as a stepping stone to film and television work; I think it shouldn't be treated that way. Maybe it's narcissism or something. I think we should always go back to it. I try and do a play a year, and I think that's really helped me.
As for theatre, there's ups and downs to everything. Theatre is ephemeral. But that is part of its charm because you can always say the production was better than it was.
It really is individual for everyone, but for me, theater is where I learn and grow, and that is always a good thing.
Theatre's a whole different beast to film. It requires a lot more of you.
Cinema is a reflection of its own society.
But I think theatre in a repressive society is an immensely exciting event and theatre in a luxurious old, affluent old society like ours is an entertaining event.
I don't think theatre has changed; it's society that has changed.
Theater is, of course, a reflection of life. Maybe we have to improve life before we can hope to improve theater.
Theater has an incredible capacity to move people to social change, to address issues, to inspire social revolution.
