Theater is an ancient art form that has woven itself into the fabric of human culture through numerous generations, cultures and societies. From Shakespeare's plays to contemporary theater productions, the art of storytelling through acting has stood the test of time. Theater brings to life all aspects of human emotion such as love, loss, anger, joy, celebration, hope, and more. It speaks to our deepest fears, longings, and dreams while reflecting the world around us. Theater gives voice to the silenced, amplifies marginalized voices, opens up dialogue, challenge norms, and calls for action.
