“We must all do theatre –
to find out who we are,
& to discover who we could become.”

“The study of theatre,
has the capacity to help us reach our full potential
as skilled, functional, ethical members of our culture. 
It helps us to become fully human & fully aware of humanity,
to see ourselves & others, 
to tell our story & be an intelligent listener & to another person’s story.”

“Theatre is like a gym for empathy.
It is where we can go to build up the muscles of compassion,
to practice listening & understanding & engaging with people that are not just like ourselves.
We practice sitting down, paying attention, & learning from other people’s actions. We practice caring.”

“Theatre class is where you learn about yourself,
how to tell your story well,
& how to listen to other human stories with empathy.
