Is the original work of art necessary in a time when we have so many forms of reproduction (camera, print, internet)? There are websites and image databases. There are prints and copies and reproductions. To see an original work of art, one would have to go to a museum. We spend an excessive amount of time at a computer and rarely visit museums.
Is theatre dead? Compared to the amount of money the movie and television industries gross, theatre is asleep. It has become a cultured, elite form of entertainment, but it is something that all can enjoy. Theatre is considered old and boring. The movie industry takes advantages of the masses. There are more plays written than movies and more movie venues than theatre. It is a war that can’t be won.
