Shakespeare‚ still to this day‚ impacts our everyday life. Whether it be inventing phrases or innovating the future of theatre‚ Shakespeare frequently motivates others to invent a new way of writing and acting.

exposed to the stage. Yes‚ I do realize how cliché this must sound: girl tries theatre‚ it changes her life‚ and she wants to pursue it in college‚ blah blah blah... But when my relationship with the stage began‚ I was in the third grade‚ didn’t have any friends‚ and was so emotionally lost I didn’t even realize I was going in the wrong direction.

Billy Elliot the Musical On November 2‚ 2010 I attended the Broadway show “Billy Elliot the Musical” at the Durham Performing Arts Center. I must say this show was definitely one of the most emotional Broadway shows I have ever seen. I do not think there was a single dry eye throughout the whole show. The shows controversial plot about a young boy‚ who wants to dance and all the people in his town who won’t let him‚ makes for an exciting and heart racing show. One of the amazing things about
