A Monday morning #TheatreQuestion.

This is a way of building conversation and connection here. Let’s keep it positive, thoughtful and fun (but not too earnest @madewithstring 🙂)

What is the thing that keeps you in theatre? And that keeps theatre in you?

Answer and repost.

What keeps me in theatre and theatre in me - school trips in the audience and the children discussing all the things they relate to but also the stories that are new to them which sparks fascinating conversations. Or those who don’t want to share but the stories resonate deeply and may help them in their own discovery of self and the world. Their awe & joy of watching a live performance / live music. #Theatre #TheatreQuestion

Don’t underestimate how long the awe and joy can last, either. To this day (over 45 years later) I remember, with tingles down my spine, McKellan and Dench in MacBeth (at the Greenwich Theatre, I think??). Must have been 1975/76, a school trip to see the play we were doing for (I think) AO level.
Good live theatre still does it to me every. single. time.

Yes definitely. Always in Awe. Theatre wasn’t part of my upbringing - it wasn’t til I was in my teens that i saw the 1st show with Derek Jacobi in 1982 I will always remember my first theatre trip as it literally blew me away!#NewcastleTheatreRoyal #RSC #TheTempest.

@JillGreenCasting @[email protected] @nedglasier Love this. It wasn’t part of my upbringing either. Some years a Christmas show. We had a mad history teacher at secondary school who took us to the Edinburgh Fringe. I was intoxicated.
