According to Broadway: USSR “The dramas of ancient Greece are now in desuetude: the language dead, the choral declamation unknown, the music lost, and the dance gestures forgotten. Still, when remaining texts are staged they tell the story of the Greek past that transcends time. They give thoughts to cold marble statues; they inhabit the ruins with meaning and motive, with living yet dead people. The validity of theater lies in its power to span distances of time and space and to bridge the gaps in understanding between peoples who may be either strangers or neighbors. Theater is and is not life. It embraces man’s fantasy. If man cannot live without fantasy, and yet if he must remain loyal to reality, then theater satisfies a human need.”

During my three years at Meyer Levin, I admit some moments were less memorable than others. But theater class is the one subject I never felt my voice was unheard in or unappreciated. Theater is the place where I can be myself. I never feel held back when creating scripts. I feel like I’m always surrounded by people that understand me, and in a short amount of time I’ve been able to form bonds with my fellow thespians.

If you are into acting, theater is definitely the place for you. As a Meyer Levin theater student, I’m always learning new things, and gaining more knowledge about the acting world. Theater is an amazing subject in Meyer Levin, and I recommend it to anyone who wants to know more about acting and theater in general.

Theater class isn’t only for people interested in acting either. If you want to learn more about directing or set creation, theater class is a good place for you. When people think about theater, they think about acting, which isn’t the only part of theater. The Meyer Levin theater class touches on all aspects of theater, including directing, acting, script writing, set creation, and ushering. Let’s not forget the person who manages curtains. They play an important role in the success of a production.
