Rhiannon Collett Thought8 TYA

Good morning this is Rhiannon with my 8th thought. This morning I'm thinking about theatre for young audiences, and how important it is to take kids to theatre, and how important it is to have theatre for children. I went to a show yesterday at Youtheatre, which is a company in Montreal, and the show was done entirely with technology, and there were no actors and no words, and I got to walk through the space with these really cute little boys who were really just excited to be able to play in a space that was unlike the space they usually get to play in. Yeah, thinking about how theatre comes naturally to children, and how story-telling for children and story-telling for teens, I think, is the most vital form of theatre.
