What Happens In A Theater

By Minnie Whitley


A city with a great mix of their wonderful artistry and rich culture. Phoenix is a community which gives credit and opportunities to their blossoming artists to express their craft and talent. To better compliment with the artistic inclination of the people, a lot of cultural facilities swarm the city. Students who obviously showcased unmatched talent in arts enjoyed scholarship grants from the city government. One way for them to channel their artist within is the Theater Phoenix.

Tourists locally and foreign are drawn to events and performances in the world famous Phoenix Convention Center. This cultural facility, along with others like the Orpheum and Herberger Theater is under the management of the Convention Center Department of the city. It is amazing how this side of Phoenix was a great contributor to the growth in the economy of the city and the state it belongs.

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.

Performances are hosted on a wide open platform, also known as the stage. This takes place in an auditorium, or any other theatrical arenas. A play can be an all in one presentation which combines song, dance, speech, musical accompaniment and gestures. Every platform is decorated extensively to better depict the scene they have to portray.

Ancient Greek dramas has greatly influenced the modern Western plays you are seeing nowadays. Even the origin of the word can be traced back to the Greeks. It came from the word theatron, meaning a place for viewing. And theaomai, which also means to observe, o watch or to see. The technical aspect of the modern play like the genre, theme, characters and the plot was mostly influenced from the Greek plays.

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.

The Orpheum Theater is perhaps the most popular historic place in Phoenix. It was built in 1929, and the only remaining structure in Phoenix with a palatial inspired architecture. And it is the only one in the Phoenix region that is recognized National Register of Historic Places.

It can accommodate around one thousand three hundred people. The renovation done on the place made it a modern theatre with a classical touch. It was closed for renovation, but is now back in business since the 1997.

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.
