The Wonderful World Of Theater

By Minnie Whitley


Phoenix is a city which enjoys a vibrant mix of arts and culture. Artists from different genre and scenes have a lot of opportunity to share their talents and crafts. A large number of cultural facilities and public art displays can be found in the city. They also offer scholarship grants for talented young artists in the community. Theater Phoenix is one outlet for artists to develop their acting skills and creativity.

The Phoenix Convention Center Department hosts events that attract both local and international tourists. This has greatly contributed to the economic growth of the city and the state of Arizona as a whole. The department manages daily operations for the top of the line Phoenix Convention Center, Symphony Hall, Orpheum Theatre, Executive Conference Center and the Herberger Theater.

Theater has played an important role in the daily lives of people. Actors and artists believe that it is one form to express their selves. Everyday is treated important, like it would be their last performance. The Herberger Theater is a huge part of the performance arts of the city.

An auditorium or theatre is the place where performers would tell a story through a play or act. Music, dance, song, gesture and speech are important factors contributing to the visual and auditory experience of the viewers. To better express the reality in each scene and plot, the stage is decorated with lavish designs.

The word theatre was derived from the ancient Greek word, theatron, which means a place for viewing. It also is translated from the word theaomai, which roughly translates, to see, to watch or to observe. The Modern Western play was greatly influenced from ancient Greek dramas. The technical terminology, genres, many of its themes, characters and plot were mostly borrowed from the latter.

Theatre performances can be classified according to its components and how it is being executed. One type is the drama, which depicts a certain mood of fiction in a presentation. A musical play is a combination of speech, music and dance. Comedy, incorporates humor in telling a story, which most people liked. There is tragedy, a different kind of drama which shows representation of any event in history.

Experience Broadway shows, concerts and operas at the newly renovated, historic Orpheum Theater. Located on West Adams Street, it is one of the most historic places in Phoenix. The last remaining example of a theatre palace type of architecture in Phoenix was originally built in 1929. It happens to be the only theatre in the greater Phoenix area listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

It underwent a massive renovation and was opened back to the public in 1997. It boasted of one thousand sixty two seats in the orchestra level, and three hundred two seats in the balcony. The modern theatre with classic style offers free tours led by a docent, from time to time.

Any form of art is an expression of yourself. Being creative is always good. Some people are born with this special talent. And some discover their inner artist by study and practice. Always remember that your actions can be a reflection of what you feel. Most importantly, the performing arts are considered a part of what you are, cherish it.
