Experience with theatre

My experience with theatre has been mostly movies. I have seen few live performances, mostly with the school. I tend to lean toward true stories or based on true stories. I feel that these give me insight into different people's lives. I find myself stepping into someone else's shoes. I always take more away from these movies than entertainment. I feel that I have been lucky enough to have a peek into another life, and this gives me the perspective and empathy that I need to work with student's from different backgrounds. It reminds me that everyone comes from somplace different.!!
