Acting in Theater

Playing Drama, and the act of performing drama, teaches us to re-engage the skill of discovery. As children, we discovered all the time. In the creation of relationships, and the art of imitating relationships that stem from drama, we are again taught to relearn how we engage in relationships. The writer of script must study how to bring characters together within the plot, while the actor must learn how to imitate these relationships on stage. It is perhaps why we call it “playing” a role, or even why a dramatic production is called a “play”!
