The theatre should be a place where people can learn to be foolish.

The theatre should be a place where people can learn to be good.

The theatre should be a place where people can learn to be evil.

The theatre should be a place where people can learn to be beautiful.

The theatre should be a place where people can learn to be ugly.

The theatre should be a place where people can learn to be happy.

The theatre should be a place where people can learn to be sad.

The theatre should be a place where people can learn to be alive.

The theatre should be a place where people can learn to be dead.
