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!

Why are you deliberately misunderstanding me?
At no time have I suggested that seeing theatre should be your only source of inspiration or training. At no time have I suggested that you should try and copy what you see others doing.

I am simply saying you should use it as a tool to enrich your artistic output and increase your range of possibilities.

Amanda asked if seeing theatre will make you a better actor

Yes it will!

How can it not?

I will stand by that.
