Read the text “ Theatre ”

Theatre is a place where you can see a play staged. It is also one of entertainments. A theatre consists of two parts: the stage and the hall. They are separated by a curtain and the orchestra. Actors and actresses perform on the stage and public occupies the hall, the pit, the dress-circles, the boxes and the gallery. If we made up our mind to go to the theatre, we should go to the box- office to buy tickets. Seats can be reserved beforehand.

The last performance I saw “The Nut Cracker” by Tchaikovskyi. How great it was! The main parts were performed by Vadym Pisarev and Inna Dorofeeva. Everyone knows that they are talented dancers. But I also was impressed by a very young ballet-dancer who was performing the part of Masha girl. I think she deserves respect of the audience because she did her best and she looked great for her young age. I had a great time that night. But we are to admit that theatre is not popular now as it used to be. There are many people, who prefer to sit comfortably before the TV and enjoy themselves without leaving their homes.
