Theatre Review: Theatre Thoughts – In the Heights (2024)

MORE reasons why you should go to the theater: 1. Live experience: Theater offers a unique and live experience that cannot be replicated in any other form of entertainment. You can witness the actors' performances in person and feel the energy and emotion in the air. 2. Emotional connection: Theater allows you to emotionally connect with the characters and the story in a deep way. You can experience a wide range of emotions, from laughter to tears, as you immerse yourself in the plot. 3. Art and creativity: Theater is an art form that combines acting, music, set design, and costumes to create a visually and audibly stunning experience. You can appreciate the talent and creativity of the artists in every aspect of the production. 4. Reflection and critical thinking: Theater often addresses important and challenging themes that make you reflect and question your perspective. You can be intellectually challenged and stimulated to think critically about different aspects of life. 5. Community and connection: Going to the theater is a social experience that allows you to connect with other people who share your love for the performing arts. You can enjoy the play with friends and family, creating lasting memories together. We invite you to buy tickets for the musical play "The Selfish Giant"!

Celebrating World Theatre Day. Remembering that theatre is so much bigger than Broadway. I am at once humbled and proud to belong to a community of collaborative artists in every nation. Most of whom don't have the budgets, resources or wages of Broadway but tell their stories anyway. I believe story telling in community matters. Here is the WTD 2024 Message by Jon Fosse of Norway which really resonated with me. Like the author, I believe that art should not erase differences but bring them into light so we can learn to empathize with what is alien to us. That is how we transcend and transform. Art, good art, manages in its wonderful way to combine the utterly unique with the universal. It lets us understand what is different—what is foreign, you might say—as being universal. By doing so, art breaks through the boundaries between languages, geographical regions, countries. It brings together not just everyone’s individual qualities but also, in another sense, the individual characteristics of every group of people, for example of every nation. Art does this not by levelling differences and making everything the same, but, on the contrary, by showing us what is different from us, what is alien or foreign. All good art contains precisely that: something alien, something we cannot completely understand and yet at the same time do understand, in a way. It contains a mystery, so to speak. Something that fascinates us and thus pushes us beyond our limits and in so doing creates the transcendence that all art must both contain in itself and lead us to.

Working on new cabaret characters… 💃 It’s a lot of fun! The creative process can be frustrating at times, but it’s also incredibly fulfilling when it goes right. Still, the work we do is always developing and changing. It’s the nature of live performance (especially cabaret) that the audience will affect your approach in some way, whether it’s subtly or outright - like if you’re reacting to their energy vs. involving them actively. The work changes every night we perform, and it keeps growing. So whether you’ve seen our shows before or you’re just a regular theatre fan - let us know. ⬇️ 👉 What do you like the most about live performance? 👉 What do you feel every good cabaret needs? 👉 What kinds of representation do you wish you saw more of in the theatre? #Performance #Theatre #Development

Today is World Theatre Day. Since 1962 World Theatre Day has been celebrated by International theater organizations, theater professionals, and theater lovers all over the world on the 27th of March. This year, the International Theatre Institute is privileged to have Jon Fosse, the Norwegian playwright and novelist, and last year's Nobel Prize Laureate in Literature, crafting the Message for World Theatre Day 2024. You can read the full World Theatre Day Message from this link: https://lnkd.in/dZXXGENk Here you can find some parts of the message: "Art Is Peace Every person is unique and yet also like every other person. Our visible, external appearance is different from everyone else’s, of course, that is all well and good, but there is also something inside every one of us that belongs to that person alone—which is that person alone. We might call this their spirit, or their soul. Or else we can decide not to label it at all in words, just leave it alone. But while we are all unlike one another, we’re alike too. People from every part of the world are fundamentally similar, no matter what language we speak, what skin color we have, or what hair color we have. This may be something of a paradox: that we are completely alike and utterly dissimilar at the same time. Maybe a person is intrinsically paradoxical, in our bridging of body and soul—we encompass both the most earthbound, tangible existence and something that transcends these material, earthbound limits. Art, good art, manages in its wonderful way to combine the utterly unique with the universal. It lets us understand what is different—what is foreign, you might say—as being universal. By doing so, art breaks through the boundaries between languages, geographical regions, and countries. It brings together not just everyone’s individual qualities but also, in another sense, the individual characteristics of every group of people, for example of every nation (...)” . . . #worldtheaterday #art #peace #talentra

Every theatre needs to get behind this campaign: ‘theatre for every child’. If literacy, oracy and empathy become educational priorities, then theatre, drama and performance will be ideally placed to support the recovery of the generation most affected by Covid and the narrowing of the curriculum. Regional mid-scale presenting venues should not leave the campaigning to the subsidised producing venues with learning teams. Some of the most innovative, creative and successful mid-scale touring work is created for young people. Help electoral candidates to better understand the value of venues that can host quality touring productions (that often come with opportunities for participation) by sharing this campaign with them.
