Concluding Post

Well, this will be my last post! Wow, there is a familiar feeling of graduating from something, and of leaving...Brings back a little nostalgia from my earlier school years.

In the beginning, I was somewhat at a loss as to what I'm really supposed to write about. I started by attempting to cover the latest news in the theatre world. Pretty soon though, I discovered that my blog wasn't really going into as much depth as I would like. And so, from there on out, I took a more informative approach. Then it really started to take off. I assumed that my audience would know very little about theatre, except for what they commonly see. So I sought to enlighten them in the inner workings of the world, and in the process I also learned a great deal. I learned a lot more about the theatre world: the shows, the lives of actors, and the backstage crew and their significance.

If I could continue writing posts on this blog, I would like to maybe look closer at the actual venues where the shows are performed--the theaters themselves. I would also have liked to maybe explore theatre in its various forms and genres, and theatre around the globe. What I would have loved to do was to analyze my favorite shows. And of course, cover more news stories.

It's been a good journey, blogging through this semester. And for anyone reading this, I encourage the looking into a show (a live show would be greatly recommended), whether it be a musical, a play, a ballet or an opera. And remember that theatre does more than to entertain. In each show there is something relatable, and can tell us so much about ourselves and others, our world, and our history. And there is a special relationship between the actors, their play, and the audience. Theatre is an art in every sense of the word, and conveys art in a way that nothing else can.
