Wicked [CANCELLED] at Thelma Gaylord Performing Arts Theatre

Similar books and movies, or any art really, theatre shows give us an opportunity to escape reality for a time being. However, there is something more theatre brings to the table. Something unique compared to any other art form. The theatre often feels more personal because the audience shares the same world as the actors. We go into the auditorium and immediately feel the chill of being teleported into a whole other world, the world of the amazing story we are not only about to witness but participate in. The actors are speaking to us, we can hear their steps, feel their feelings. And while shows help us enter the world of the story, and temporarily leave our own lives behind, this escape can bring another meaning into our own lives for days to come. Maybe the story presents a different perspective of the world or maybe it shakes us to the core and reminds us what is important, or maybe it makes us laugh and remind ourselves to take life with a little more humor. Either way, you are one ticket away from all that. And of all the things money can buy, experiences are one of the best.
