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!

Eliot enthusiastically exclaimed:

"But how would they know theatre exists without having been exposed to the concept of theatre, at the very least?"

Exposure does not automatically lead to inspiration.

Personally, the fact that I was an annoying "clown" lead someone to suggest I put it to good use on stage instead of in the classroom.
