The magic of the theater

There is nothing quite like sitting with hundreds of people in a massive, dark room for entertainment, while booming sound flows around you. A sense of community lives within the audience as they laugh, cry or gasp from experiencing a powerful moment together.
The theater is truly a remarkable place.
It’s a place for movies, musical theater, comedy shows, concerts among an innumerable myriad of art pieces. All walks of life are welcome, giving the theater a holy aura of anonymity and acceptance.
It’s a place of freedom and joy, hope and despair. It’s a place where you can forget about the troubles of the world, or face them head-on.
No matter the story, you are never alone in your adventure.
Adventure: the thing that provides a reprieve from the mundanities of life. One minute you’re a cashier for your local grocery store, the next a lightsaber wielding Jedi. You have no limitations while inside the theater. The realm of the possible, and impossible, lies at your fingertips.
Life: what we all live, but cannot understand. Life afflicts us all in completely different ways. Different cultures and religions defy understanding from those who do not live in them. The theater gives us a way to see life through the eyes of another person. Fate of the Furious will give you a vastly different perspective than Roma. These different perspectives make us more tolerant, and wonder if there could be someone who sees the world like those characters in the theater with you.
While streaming services have made entertainment easily accessible in the comfort of your home, there is a certain aspect of entertainment missed by sitting alone on the couch. It misses the grandeur of an event. The feeling of going to the theater cannot be simulated.
A monstrous screen or the visceral nature of a live stage performance is unique in that it’s either larger-than-life, or a piece of life presented before your very eyes.
Nothing can beat the feeling of beautiful harmonies coming from real voices on a stage, or the feeling you get from the Star Wars opening crawl blasting triumphant music in a theater.
That feeling of exhilarating bliss.
