What Theatre Has Taught Me...

PC Here

A while ago I shared a piece I wrote about theatre from my creative writing class in high school. You guys really seemed to like it, so today, I decided to share another piece I wrote.

This one needs a bit of an explanation. What you are about to read was for a concrete poem where the shape was the comedy-tragedy masks. These are the phrases I used in that poem at the time. I would someday like to add to that list so that it can continue on.

Without further ado, here is what theatre has taught me.

What Theatre Has Taught Me...

What Theatre Has Taught Me: 

Break social norms

Don’t throw away your shot

Be different

Be practically perfect in every way

You will find love where you never expected

Revenge isn’t worth it in the end

Wait for it

You can’t buy love

But you can rent it

The world is wide enough

Love is love

Dying is easy living is harder

Brimstone and Treacle won’t work

Sometimes fame comes with a price

People come in many different forms

Everyone has talent

Friends come at times you need them most

Be you

Escape who you think you are

No day but today

Find yourself

Love who you are

Be brave

Keep going

Be fearless

Reinvent yourself

Escape from your troubles

Loving friend

Friends who actually care 

We rent emotion

The theatre fam is the best fam

Theatre teaches us so much. Not only about life, but about ourselves. Theatre gives us this chance every day, whether it be within a character we portray or a musical we listen to. There will always be more to learn, and theatre will always be there to help us learn them.
