just somethings i thought of last night:

personally - i do not go to the theatre often. i can't drive myself around and i don't have any money. :-o

is it as important that actors go to see theatre as well as act in theatre(or whatever they want to act in)?
what are everyone elses views on this matter?

i act, sing, dance, play 2 instuments and am involved with a couple of theatre companys as well as help run one.

as a part of learning about the performing arts - should young actors go to theatre to help them learn? does attending theatre make a better actor?

i would love to hear other thoughts!

Years ago I saw (on TV) a good feature on this, albeit angled at professionals.
In a few words the consensus advice was:-
watch any production (TV is Free) and pretend you were the director/stage manager/lead actor/supporting actor/lighting/makeup etc. etc..
