A.
Theatrical performance is the result of the work of many
people. It might seem that the playwright creates the play, the
director stages it, the actors make the audience believe in the
reality of what is happening on the stage and that is all. But
the magie is also created by artists, decorators, costumers,
make-up artists. lighting technicians, stagehands and many
others whom the audience does not see.
Many plays are based on famous books or moments from
history. Watching a performance that focuses on history or
literature is a great way to bring important events or ideas to
life. Theatre can be a great way to introduce children to classic
fairy tales, short stories, and even poetry.
Bringing a child to a theatre for the first time is a challenging
experience. Children may not realise that a live play is quite
different from a cartoon on TV or even a movie screen.
Watching television has become an extremely popular form of
entertainment for children. Because of this it is difficult for
them to focus on one thing for an hour and a half. Theatre
helps children learn how to sit quietly, respect others, and pay
attention.
D. Theatre is a safe way to expose kids to difficult situations and
show them first-hand how to handle these situations. A play
can tench lessons about staying true to who you are, as well as
lessons of friendship. Some plays look at family life and show
how to cope with troubles between sisters and brothers.
E. We know that the first people who created plays were the
ancient Greeks. It was about the year 500 BC. They divided
plays into two kinds: tragedy and comedy. This division is still
used today. These ancient Greek plays were performed outdoors
in large amphitheatres, so that many people could see them.
There were contests among the playwrights and the winner got
prize. The actors wore masks covering the entire face and
head, with holes for their eyes and mouth.
