Among all the art forms theater is one of he most fascinating, in my opinion. Why do I think so? Theater presupposes live action, or acting which is happening right in front of you now. I’ve always been impressed by the actors’ skill because they basically have no right for mistake. When it comes to a film, a million takes could be made in order to shot just one scene better but the theater doesn’t offer that chance.

But even being a theater fan,unfortunately, I don’t usually visit this place often due to different reasons: the price, my tight schedule and the town I live in. The last reason might sound quite strange, but I can explain it. Every play I’ve gone to in Kostroma turned out to be a huge disappointment because a lot of actors were overacting, and moreover, the plays were tacky and vulgar and it didn’t matter whether it was classical or comedy.

But as soon as I came to Nizhny Novgorod theater I realised that theater may finally become my favorite form of entertainment. I’ve seen only two or three plays in this city so far but I can confess that most of all I was thrilled by the play about three love stories. What I loved about the play was acting and the stories the script was based on.

Even though the genre of my favorite play was love drama, I wouldn’t tell that it’s the best genre. Comedy is the genre I admire the most because it helps me to get distracted from my problems and daily routine.

When I think about theater I regret not visiting Moscow or Saint-Petersburg theaters because I would like to find out how else the acting may differ. What if I’m going to change my opinion on the theaters in Nizhny Novgorod? Who knows, may be one day I’ll finally be able to attend a play in the aforementioned city and share my impressions with you.
