I am a big theater fan. It's mostly just being pretentious, I think, and trying to look smart.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm such a theater geek.

People are patronizing the theatres with renewed enthusiasm - there is an entire picnic-like attitude when families go out to see movies, which is a very good sign. They want to see larger-than-life characters on the big screen and not just watch movies on television or on DVDs.
I see myself as not a typical theater person, but a person who uses the theater as a place to meet people and explore ideas.
It's hard being a Broadway actor going into film where you have to tone everything down. In theater, everything you're taught is to be big and broad and make everyone feel like they are right next to you, even in the last row of seats.
All I know is that as an audience member, I am less and less inclined to go to the theater. But that has to do with content and also because the venues seem to be actively trying to repel people.
Theater is where you go to find out something new that you don't know. It goes through somebody's brain and comes out in a comprehensible way that is beautiful, that's really interesting.
The hard thing is getting people to come to the theater to see something, no matter if it's good or not.
Most theater tells you what to think.
I take the theater seriously in that I loathe it, I'm bored by it.
