Week3: What is Theater ?

        Theater is a place where group of people watch a stage perform of acting and music. In century, theater have been introduce since William Shakespeare. William Shakespeare is common thing for the theater because, he have been writing so many play since then. Today, people still going to theater for the enjoyment. Some people don't enjoy it, because mostly it's for older people. Well, I found myself enjoy it. Theater is absolutely a media form and it one most media that need to put on the list. It is because  theater is the evolution of this new entertainment like movie, music, and many more. The theater begin with a live play of acting and story telling. When the movie or film invented, people gather to theater for a entertainment. After that, people start to enjoy moving picture or call film. Theater start to get less watch after that, and then it still rise back. So in other words, theater is the grandfather of movie and also a media form. It is the old media back there. With people enjoying entertainment there is no way theater didn't call a media form.


     Some say theater is stage play that have meaningful thing in the background story. The performing of the theater is based on fiction or real people. But, mostly it's fiction. Other than that, theater is something that trying to communicate to the people what's going on. It is start with William Shakespeare perform stage, where he direct a play call "Hamlet". The play shown a great meaning to the character perspective life. And the people begin to understand what Hamlet trying to say. This shown that theater is something that communicate directly but differently to the audience. The best way to communicate in theater is by musical theater. A musical theater is very good way to tell the audience what is  character singing  about and why? By the music background the character voice the audience can tell it. The most best way to see a musical theater is going to Broadway at New York City. Currently, these days people still appreciate the theater by going to Broadway. The people even make an award for people who works hard for the theater production. The award call The Tony Award. Theater also shown an interesting way to make it more entertainment, example The Book Of Mormon a musical Broadway have been winning so many award because the story line is funny even though it insulting to religion of a Mormon, but still others enjoy it. More over, theater can help to share some culture way of life. It is a background culture for the theater to shown it.


     I hope someday, people still appreciate the good entertainment on theater because it is some good entertainment that young people would understand why it's still there.
