When students participate in a play or musical they find a different avenue for teamwork.
Those who are on stage learn to develop the written material they are provided so they can communicate the ideas and emotions the author intended and the director indicates.
Those who are not on stage must learn to communicate in written and spoken forms.
Students in these venues learn to work with others whose interests and talents may be very different from theirs. Participants may come from very different backgrounds and economic strata. They do not need to be athletic. Dancers are athletic but usually not as large as actual athletes.
There is room for those who are not interested in being on stage but want to participate in group activities. Sets and costumes must be designed and constructed. Makeup must be developed and applied. Each of these requires different types of creative arts talent. Lighting and sound equipment must be studied, maintained, and operated. Advertising may be developed on the computer.
The experiences of these very diverse individuals can lead to occupations, hobbies, and new means of understanding themselves and others.
