A girl of 15: What do I think of theatre? I can't say that I am a thatre goer, but sometimes when I have free time and no idea how to spend it, I go to the theare with my friends, but only to our musical theatre, as I am sure that theatre exists for our amusement and entertainment. When I am at the theatre I don't want think much, I only want to rest, to laugh and enjoy myself.

A girl of 14: I love theatre very much and my friends consider me to be a theatre-fan. I am fond of seeing comedies, dramas and tragedies, but I also watch ballet .

They are difficult for me. It's a pity.

A boy of 15: My thoughts about theatre? I think that this kind of art is dying now, because nobody is interested in the fact that young people don't like it. That's why theatres are visited mostly by grown-ups and old people. I think that something should be done to change the situation.
