"Theater is similar to a gym for compassion." It's the place we can go to develop the muscles of sympathy, to work on listening and understanding and drawing in with individuals that are not simply like ourselves.

Children require this sort of practice significantly more than grown-ups do. This will be their planet and they have more opportunity to apply that sympathy and have any kind of effect.

--Describe and explain everything you remember from the performance - How did it look/sound/feel?
The first theatrical performance I had seen was when I was 6. It was a high school ISD play called "Run for your wife". I remember it being the sole reason I wanted to join drama when I was younger. The set created was so great and looked almost exactly like this-
The first theatrical performance I had seen was when I was 6. It was a high school ISD play called "Run for your wife". I remember it being the sole reason I wanted to join drama when I was younger. The set created was so great and looked almost exactly like this-
The play was about a man with two wives, who had to keep dodging from one house to another to keep them both happy. The blue side depicts wife #1's house, and the yellow depicts wife #2's. I think that through the play all the actors kept very good facial expressions, and even at 6 I was able to understand the plot of the play itself. I remember laughing so much that my sides hurt, and I also remember how many people gave a standing ovation in the end.
--What do you remember about the story? The actors? The performance space? The costumes/lights/props?
I remember that the actors were all in 11th and 12th grade at the time. I know that the props were created by the dramatech students themselves with no help from the teachers. I know that both the wives had very bright prominent coloured dresses, and I also remember that throughout the play they only used this set. I remember the light changing every time the main character wanted to "travel" from one house to the next, indicating the next scene.
--What kind of an impact did it have on you as a child? Can you make any connections to the articles you investigated above?
This was such an important role to me because since then I've always wanted to take part in the high school play, knowing that someday maybe some child watching my play would be as influenced by me as I was by them. I definitely think that theatre is a great way for a child to express themselves as it's very hard for a child to speak up, and it's easier when taking on the role of someone else. Although a story about a cheating husband may not have been the ideal play to show a 6 year old, I think that plays with morals to it would be very beneficial showing to a child as they listen the most to something they can relate to.
--Based on your personal experience, do you agree with the statements made in the articles above?
I 100% agree that we should take more pride in participating in children's theatre and give it equal importance as regular theatre. In fact we should be paying more attention to what we show our kids as they're easily influenced and also the people we're handing the world to when they grow up.
