Catching Live Theatre At Toronto

By Jeanette Parsons


Toronto showcases best dining and shopping places and accommodations. Aside from that, live theatre Toronto shows productions that are also shown at New York City and Chicago. Canadian as well as American audience love to see plays, Broadway musicals and concerts here.

Thespians either sing, dance, act, or use musical instruments to present their message to the viewers. Live theater is among most ancient form of art. The events portrayed could either be real or imagined ones.

Cinemas became popular because of the advent of film and digital innovations. The people's idea of theater changed. Going back theater means one and the same place for seeing actual performance at a special viewing area. The term theater originated from the Greek 'theatron' that means 'a viewing place'.

Because people love to argue, the contrast between film and theater plays had not been spared with debate. Some theater purist would say that the naturalness of talent had been lost because of overused digital editing in movies and that much have been sacrificed in movie storyline and plot because of compromising to popular culture. Movie fanatics would also answer that plays and any actual performance have been left behind by technology and is therefore, boring and ancient to watch.

From the way it is presented, theaters being performed with actual audience whereas cinemas being recorded, there is a world of difference between these two worlds that is probably the reason, why people keep on comparing. Differences still include venue, origin and the process it is made.

Without taking sides, both movie and play provide their own quality of entertainment to different types of audience. Movies are enhanced with technological advancements; plays, with vivid and actual physical movements and visual tools. Through different mediums, both has the ability to affect the audience personally.

Popularity wise, movies appeals more to younger audience. Way back, theater has been more popular to elite or aristocrats. However, today, although cinemas are sprouting like mushrooms, there are many theater houses to go to.

Being able to closely see theater stars and a chance to meet them personally is among fringe benefits of watching actual performances. Although cinemas are more in number than theaters, live theatre Toronto can be one of the avenues for having chances to experience one.
