Theatre is science. Theatre is mathematics. Theatre is foreign language. Theatre is physical education. Theatre is language arts. Theatre is art. Theatre is business. Theatre is technology. Theatre is economics. Theatre is taught in schools, not because you are expected to major in theatre, not because you are expected to perform all through life, not so you can relax, not so you can have fun, but... So you will recognize beauty. So you will be sensitive. So you will have more love. More compassion. More good. In short, more life. Of what value will it be to make a prosperous living unless you know how to live? That is why theatre should be taught in our schools.
