History of theatre

History of theatre - Wikipedia

Humans are the only animals on this planet that mimic themselves pretending
to be others, live on stage.

The first live stage theatre occurred in Athens,
Greece 2,720 years ago

Greek theatre

Roman theatre

Hamlet, a live on stage play occurred 421 years ago

Macbeth, a live on stage play occurred 414 years ago

The TV was invented 93 years age

Today we have this---

The point I am trying to make is that humans have used plays, TV shows
and movies to express fiction and non-fiction human character in order to
self evaluate ourselves.

I can watch a movie or TV show several times over and in each case I get a
new view from one particular actor to another. Modern programing is laced
with moral values clearly distinguishing right from wrong. Even
The Good Bad and Ugly exemplified the true character of the human kind.


What programs and characters do you empathize with and want your children
to watch too—

What’s your favorite TV series and why-?

Just curious

Speaking of theater; live on stage for you to see and learn~~~~~

Here’s one TV series compared to another; trump style.

If you are a person interesting in law and/or may someday become a lawyer; I suggest that person or you watch no less than five (5) episodes of “Perry Mason” where you will see what lawyers are for.

It’s a glimpse into an honest, well respected Lawyer who shows us how it’s done

The cast of the TV series “Perry Mason” ---

“Lawyer” named Perry Mason; (actor- Raymond Burr)

“Secretary” Barbara Hale; (actor- ________________ )

“Private eye” William Hopper, (actor-_________________)

“Police chief” (actor-_________________)

Then on- the- other- hand ​

Let's watch the TV series “The Apprentice”

The Apprentice is an American documentary reality television program that judges the business skills of a group of contestants.

The Apprentice was created by British-born American television producer Mark Burnett.

the show features fourteen to eighteen business people who compete over the course of a season, with usually one contestant eliminated per episode.

Episodes ended with the host eliminating one contestant from the competition, with the words "You're fired!"

Trump loved this show of fiction; but to Trump, --- it wasn’t “fiction”; it was/is real to him.

As I see it, somehow the statement below comes to mind.

Congress makes their ruling​

and Congress unanimously state;

Mr. trump; "You're fired!"​

Mr. trump loved firing people way back then in a world of fiction just as he loves doing this to real people in real time
but the only actor on stage was/is Mr. trump himself.

Please Congress, before he hurts himself and or others

Lonesome Dove- the greatest love story ever written- the book is even better- there are many movies and books that have good life lessons and often I reread (lonesome dove [book and movie] as one example) brings a different perspective.

The major regret in my life is not being a story teller. It's a talent not many have and song writers are probably the most prolific- novelist are good too- good stories, no matter the genre are not only entertaining but informative (from a knowledge POV) - most 'authors' do a lot of research for their fiction to make the story plausible.

Like lots of movies and TV.
tonight its PBS, their productions of classics & history are unmatched. But never forget to read, its a trip into minds with focus, & points of views that come through even in fiction. now reading a non fiction book on Lafayette.

In all these TV & movie series I have found one thing in common; they all show moral values that rise above the script.

As I see it, the sad part is the fact that those actors had to get into the mood and style of the character in order to portray the character. Sometimes its a happy experience and sometimes not.
I wonder how hard it is to get into those mindsets and then in a flash return reality?

I guess that's why they get paid the big bucks.
