The goal of any form of art is to beautify the experience, while educating, as well. But many forms have an educational purpose as well. Theatre, for instance, often serves as an introduction to a theatrical language, such as those taught in kindergarten. Most people who attend theatrical presentations do so with the hope of learning something. Of course, that goal has been around much longer than kindergarten.
Other common goals include communicating with others and learning more about ourselves. All of these are possible through theater. Some of these purposes may seem self-explanatory. For example, what is the purpose of theater arts for romance novels? People are interested in learning how to tell a story, especially a love story. They also would like to see other people involved in the process, whether it’s through a plot or dialogue.
