By Shem Onderi
Theatre is poetry.
People pay to come and laugh; others cry,
As tears flow freely.
The acting is emotional; the play is choreographed
To move people emotionally.

The value of the play lies in the acting.
Acting is sometimes not too serious an activity.
The script is vigorous.
The actors must sometimes cry in the play;
Other times they laugh,
Behaving abnormally in one role or another.
The script is not always serious.
A lot of imagination goes into each minute of the play.
The actors make money from it,
The government collects revenue,
The landlords of the cinema hall collect rent,
While the viewer goes home carrying emotions.
Theatre provokes thought.
It carries colors in its images as the action demands.
The stage is small in size,
The theatre hall is bigger,
But the play is short.
