Why theater makes us better people. Bring it back–an OP during the pandemic from The Los Angeles Times

My dear theater loving friends,

This article, written during the pandemic, explains the value of Theater. And fortunately for Utah, we have A LOT of theater options. Attending theater productions is a great practice, now more than ever, even without Covid 19 erasing all activities that used to be outside of our own homes.

However, here is another reason why those of you who attend theater are doing well. You’re not just supporting the Arts.

“Theater is more than entertainment; it is a vital way to build psychological skills — especially empathy, or our ability to share, understand and care about others’ emotions.”

We at Front Row Reviewers, in Celebrating the GOOD in the Arts, can’t agree more. Thank to all of you who are our faithful readers, to all the people involved in producing excellent activities for our citizens to attend–all you theater lovers out there. You are the best.

And thank you to reviewer @Mason Bennet for submitting this article.

Play on, people! We love you.
