Live theatre can really transform lives. The art of visual storytelling; the fact that the auidence can connect to the world you are trying to create on the stage, is truly remarakable; and unlike anything beyond compare!
The way of storytelling in Charlotte's Web at Wheelock Family Theatre last night was just amazing. The way the directors envisoned the show really came to life onstage! I like the way they didn't just tell you what happened, they acted it out onstage. That's the beauty of live theatre. You use all these complex moves and gestures to convey the story you're trying to tell. Not to mention the actor who played Charlotte was unbelievably talented! I don't know how she will keep her skills sharp for a month! I guess a lot a lot of practice!
This theatre really puts on spactaular shows! Billy Elliot, Mary Poppins, and now Charlotte's web are in my memory as being of of the few amazing shows i've seen here. Whereas Billiy Elliot and Mary Poppins were more professionally done, this production was more fun.
The theatre also does a good job in the way they welcome all people, no matter whether they have disabilities, not the same race, etc. I love how they have shows that are ASL interpreted and audio–described. Those kinds of services really help the audience to connect to the world the actors are creating onstage, whatever their challenges may be. It also has the audience really dive deep into the world of imagination, and for young ones, help them foster their creativity.
In conclusion, this theatre, with the quality of it's productions, with not disappoint. Theatre tells a story, and really getting to immerse yourelf in the magic of live theatre, well, there is nothing quite like it. I hope to, someday, be a part of Whelock Family Theatre.
