For me, theater is collaboration in search of a new reality. It can be near-identical to or completely removed from real life, with people coming together to create a world they can noticeably shape.

Theatre is a way for me to express myself, have fun, and to be someone who I'm not for a while. Theatre is a way for me to be social and have a good time while creating something I am proud of and I think is worthwhile to watch.

This sounds like really cliché but Theatre to me is home. It’s the class period I look most forward to because I can be myself and not feel completely judged. We’re all weird in a good way which is why we all vibe and have a good time, cause we get each other. We all share the same passion, or else why would we still be here? Just being part of this Hewlett Theatre family is genuinely like no other. When I’m up on stage with my friends making the audience laugh, it just feels right.

Theatre is a place where the unspoken is spoken, where the dream turns to reality, and an open door of miscellaneous expressions and characteristics become inclination of new possibilities of a student and aspiring actor. Theatre is a place where history is made and the future is admired and awaiting.
