The music continues to play. The heroes shout out to the audience "Good Bye! Bye-Bye!" and wave their hands.

And today we congratulate everyone who takes part in creating amazing performances: from the valiant wardrobe workers who cope with unprecedented influxes of jackets and coats, to the directors and actors who take us to another reality.

The best gift we can give (besides going to the theater, of course) is to get to know the theater better and introduce our friends to it, because this is precisely the purpose of the holiday.

In our article, we have collected useful resources in English that will be of interest to both beginners and avid theatergoers. You'll find out where to watch English theater productions online, you will take a brief excursion into the history of the theater, enrich your vocabulary with thematic vocabulary and receive invaluable acting lessons.

Back To the Roots, or History of the Theater

Theater has always been an integral part of society and incredibly accurately reflected all stages of its development. The modern world is no exception.

Video about the influence of theater on modern society.

Today is the time to touch the history of this art. We have found excellent materials for you in English, in which you can learn the history of theater from the origins of primitive rituals to today's sophisticated performances.

– a brief overview of theatrical history from ancient Greece to Shakespeare from the London Theater Direct blog.
– a version for those who are ready to delve into the jungle of the formation of theater as an independent movement and learn a colossal amount of English vocabulary about the theater.

Through the Time and Space, or Theater at Your Home

We learned about the history - now we go to watch the performances. If you haven’t planned a trip to a real theater today, we will help organize it at your home.

In the 21st century you can watch a Broadway production, sitting comfortably in a chair with warm tea. Especially for you – a selection of online theaters that will compete with Netflix.

– BroadwayHD– incendiary shows and musicals straight from the Broadway stage. A month's subscription costs $14.99, but the pleasure you get is worth the cost (and you don't have to buy tickets to New York).

– Digital Theater is a unique resource that contains video recordings of cult performances of leading British theaters. It is possible to rent a video recording for 48 hours for $5.99 (a ridiculous price for performances with the best British actors) or purchase for $12.99 to watch your favorite moments over and over again anytime.

– TheaterHD– magnificent productions of world-famous theaters on movie screens in Russian cities. The list of cities involved is really wide. Look, maybe in your city the theater has become much closer to the audience.

Don't have time or opportunity to watch performances? Listen to them! Audio performances will allow you to develop your imagination and listening skills in English.

It's good on record, but it's better live. Today we invite you to create a wishlist for visiting the best theaters in the world and start fulfilling it. A video about theaters, which themselves are works of art and simply a must-see, will help you make your choice.

Just remember that in countries with American English you will end up in Thea ter, and in the UK – in Thea tre. 🙂

The most beautiful theaters in the world.

Our set of words will help you prepare for the theater trip. A is good material for consolidating learned words.

Theater Movies, or Another way to touch the beautiful

If the activities listed above are not suitable for you for some reason, we suggest getting in touch with the theatrical art in one more way - watching wonderful films about it:

Birdman (2014) is an Oscar-winning drama about the former glory of the actor who played the superhero Birdman, and about the confrontation between theater and cinema.
Black Swan (2010) is a psychological thriller in which a ballet dancer faces a dangerous competitor before the most important performance of her life.
Shakespeare in Love (1998) is a film based on the life of William Shakespeare and tells the story of the power of love and art.

Of course, all films are worth watching, because we are talking about theater, and everything is important here: from the vocabulary used to intonation and a delightful English accent.

Behind the Scenes, or For those who dream of creating

We decided to dedicate the final part of our theater article to those who yearn not just to visit the theater, but to find themselves on the other side of the stage!

First, read the material. Perhaps soon you will be able to boast of some items from this list. Video about English pronunciation in the time of Shakespeare.
– how do you like the idea of performing “The Seagull” by A.P. Chekhov in English and surprise everyone? We like it!

is a wonderful play with rich English language about blackmail and corruption.

Farewell, Theater Lovers, or See you at the theater!

We hope that our materials will help make theater a part of life and open the door to a world of amazing emotions. If you have additions to our article or a couple of useful resources, be sure to write about them in the comments to the article.

And we once again congratulate the creators of theatrical magic and thank you for the inspiration!

The strategy for modernizing Russian school education contains the provision that the main result of the activities of an educational institution should not be the system of knowledge and skills of students in itself. The competency-based approach assumes that children, in addition to mastering individual knowledge and skills, were able to apply them in a certain context.

At our school, learning English is not limited to the classroom. Our school theater in English “Inspiration” is 8 years old and every theater season brings new discoveries. Discovering acting talents, getting to know new plays and musicals. Such performances as “Oliver”, “The book of Jungle”, “Cats”, “Peter Pan”, “Narnia”, “Pippi Longstocking”, “The Sound of Music” have already been presented to the audience.

What competencies does our theater develop? First of all, this communicative competence, which includes knowledge and use of English, while children improve their knowledge, enrich their vocabulary, develop memory and acquire fluency.

The question of choosing a repertoire is very important. It should interest young artists. Children of different ages, from second to ninth grades, take part in the performances. The guys are mastering skills to work in different age groups, which is interesting and useful for both seniors and juniors.

Making the decision to act in a play is a responsible step that not everyone can take. Theater helps to fight complexes, excessive shyness, helps to liberate and find yourself. In this case, it is formed competence of personal self-improvement, coming spiritual and intellectual self-development.

Parents are regular participants in the theater’s trips to festivals and competitions, which brings the family together. It is important that parents begin to perceive their children in a new way; respect from the family and pride in their child arise.

In our theater we do not use ready-made scripts, but create them ourselves, based on primary sources. Guys look for the necessary information on the Internet, analyze it. Improves them information competence.

To create the scenery and costumes of the characters, you need to develop general cultural competence. We mainly stage performances based on the works of English-speaking authors, and getting to know the best examples of the culture of the countries of the language they are studying enriches the children.

At the stage of creating a script, when discussing the characters of the characters, there may be reassessment of values and formation of worldview little artists. In this case, it is formed value-semantic competence. Staging a performance is difficult, painstaking work on the image in all its manifestations. But the result exceeds expectations; the magic of the boys’ transformation on stage knows no bounds. Before our eyes, Cinderella turns into a princess, and the ugly duckling into a dazzling swan.

The theater is a place where a child can try yourself in different roles, which contributes to his self-determination and further self-realization. Thereby developing them social competence.

Children learn acting, stage speech, plastic arts, develop an ear for music, strengthen their voice and, of course, improve their knowledge of the English language.

There are many people who want to play in musicals and plays, and in order not to turn anyone away, we rehearse with two groups of artists. Healthy competition arises, everyone wants to improve and play better.

Music, the festive atmosphere, prizes at competitions and festivals, and audience recognition attract more and more children to the ranks of artists.

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

from the Chronicles of Narnia

(Scenes based on the book by C. S. Lewis)

Story teller: Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy were sent to the house of an old Professor. They had a great idea to explore the house, and that was how the adventures began.

Lucy: Good evening!

Faun Tumnus: Good evening, good evening! Excuse me, I don’t want to be inquisitive, but should I be right in thinking that you are a Daughter of Eve?

Lucy: My name is Lucy.

Faun Tumnus: But you are (forgive me) a girl?

Lucy: Of course I’m a girl.

Faun Tumnus: How stupid of me! But I’ve never seen a Daughter of Eve… Delighted, delighted ... Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Tumnus.

Lucy: I’m very pleased to meet you, Mr. Tumnus.

Faun Tumnus: And may I ask you, oh Lucy Daughter of Eve, how do you have come into Narnia?

Lucy: I've got in through the wardrobe in the spare room. It’s summer there… Narnia? What's that?

Faun Tumnus: This is the land of Narnia! It’s winter in Narnia and we’ll catch cold if we stand here talking in the snow. Let's go. Have tea with me! I'll tell you about Narnia.

Lucy: No...

Faun Tumnus: It’s only round the corner, there’ll be a roaring fire, toast and cake.

Tumnus sings a lullaby:

Where sky and water meet,
Where the waves grow, all grow light and sweet,
Doubt not, lovely, little Lucy
To find what you seek.

Then he bursts into tears.

Lucy: Mr. Tumnus! Don't! What's the matter? Dear Mr. Tumnus, what's wrong?

Faun Tumnus: Oh-oh-oh. I’m crying because I’m such a bad Faun, I’m on the pay of the White Witch!

Lucy: The White Witch? Who's she?

Faun Tumnus: Why, it’s she who makes it always winter. And if I meet a poor child in the wood, one that has never done me any harm, and pretend to be friendly to me I must give them to the White Witch.

Lucy: I'm very sorry, Mr. Tumnus, but please let me go home.

Faun Tumnus: Of course, Lucy. Can you ever forgive me for what I meant to do?

Lucy: Farewell, Mr. Tumnus.

Edmund gets into Narnia.

Story teller: Lucy was so excited when she ran out of the wardrobe, but the others didn’t believe her story, especially Edmund. But he got interested and decided to find out the truth.

Queen: Stop! What, pray, are you?

Edmund: I'm... I'm... my name is Edmund.

Servant: Is that how you address the Queen?

Edmund: I beg your pardon, your Majesty, I didn’t know.

Queen: Don't know the Queen of Narnia?

The Queen sings her song:

Oh, perilous place,
Walk backwards towards you,
Blink disbelieving eyes, chilled to the bone.
Most visibly brave, now apprehended bloom,
First to take this foot to virgin snow.

And I am a magnet for all kinds of deep wonder.
I am a wunderkind. Oh...
And I live the young love first far enough to believe this.
I am a princess on the way to my throne, destined to serve, destined to roam.

Queen: But I repeat – what are you? Are you human?

Edmund: Yes, I am. I got here through a wardrobe door. But nobody knows about it except my brother and two sisters.

Queen: (under her breath) Ha! A wardrobe… A door from the world of men! I’ve heard of such things... My poor child, how cold you look! What would you like best to eat?

Edmund: Turkish delight, your Majesty.

Queen: Are you sure there are just four of you?

Edmund: Yes, your Majesty.

Queen: Son of Adam, I’d so much like to see your brother and two sisters! Will you bring them to me?

Edmund: I'll try.

Story teller: The adventures began for the third time because of the game of hide-and-seek, when all the children got into the wardrobe.

Peter: O-o-oh, look there and there. It's trees all around. And this wet stuff is snow.

Susan: What's this? (reads a note)“The Faun Tumnus is under arrest and awaiting his trial on a charge of High Treason against her Majesty, Queen of Narnia.”

Peter: Who's she? Lucy?

Lucy: She isn't a real Queen at all! She's a horrible witch, the White Witch!

Susan: I wonder if there is any point in going on. I mean, it doesn’t seem particularly safe here. And it’s getting colder every minute.

Edmund: And we have nothing to eat! What about just going home?

Lucy: But we can’t just go home, not after this, don’t you see? It’s all on my account that poor Faun has got into this trouble!

Children sing their song:

We're your friends, we're your friends,
We're your friends to the bitter end!
Make your choice, adventurous stranger!

Strike the bell and bide the danger,
Or wonder, till it drives you mad,
What would have followed if you had.

Susan: Hush! There’s something moving among the trees over there to the left!

Beaver: Wait! Don't be scared! I’m a beaver, I’m Tumnus’s friend.

Peter: And now do please tell us what’s happened to Tumnus.

Beaver: Ah, that’s bad, that’s a very, very bad business. There’s no doubt he was taken off by the police. I got it from a bird who saw it done.

Susan: Please, can anything be done to save him?

Beaver: All shall be done, but it may be harder than you think. Follow me and I’ll show you the way to the Witch’s house. And Aslan is on the move.

Susan: Who's Aslan?

Beaver: Aslan? Why, don’t you know? He's the King. He's in Narnia at the moment. He’ll settle with the White Witch all right, it’s he who will save Mr. Tumnus.

Peter: What on earth are we to do, Mr. Beaver?

Beaver: Do? We must be off at once. We haven’t a minute to spare!

Servant 1: What on the earth are you doing here?

Servant 2: Go away! She`s our Queen. She'll teach you a lesson.

Story teller: The battle was over a few minutes after their arrival.

King Midas

Once upon a time, in ancient Greece….

Sorry, where? In Paris?

No, in ancient Greece. There lived a powerful king. His name was Midas.

Who? Adidas?

No, he was King Midas, my dear.

Oh, I see. King Midas. Was he young? Rich? Handsome?

He was OK. Neither young, nor handsome. But he was very rich.

You’ve said “rich”? How rich? As Bill Gaits? Or, probably, as Abramovich?

I don't know exactly. He had a lot of money. But...

But what? Why do you say “but”?

But he was a little greedy.

Greedy? I don't like greedy men.

But he was.

King Midas was a rich man,

But a little greedy too.

One day his wish came true.

Came true? Really? Tell us what happened.

Well, are you sure you want to know?

Yes, we do!

Then let’s go to his palace, to ancient Greece.

Scene I

King: Good afternoon, old man. Who are you?

Old man: I am a poor man. Can you give me something to eat?

King: Yes, certainly. Sit next to me and be my guest. Bring us wine and fruit, cheese and olives to eat!

Old man: Thank you! You are very kind, King Midas!

(thunder, flash of light, Dionysus appears)

King: Oh, who are you?

Dionysus: I am the god Dionysus. I want to thank you for being so kind to my friend and my teacher.

King: Is this old man your friend and your teacher?

Dion.: Yes, he is. You are a kind man, Midas. I can do whatever you like. Tell me your wish.

King: I want everything I touch to turn gold.

Dion. But you are very rich now, Midas. Are you sure that’s what you want?

King: Oh, yes, I am sure.

Dion.: Let it be so! The Gods of Olympus! I give this man power to turn everything he touches into gold. (Thunder, flashes)

King: Look, everything I touch turns to gold! The trees are gold, the flowers are gold and the stones are gold! Amazing!

A flower a cup of wine.

And all this gold is mine!

King: Let everyone eat and drink! Soon I will become the richest man in the world!

Oh no! My wine is gold and my sweets are also gold! I can't eat or drink! I will die!

“What shall I do?” - he said.

I wish my bread was bread!”

King: Dionysus, kind god! Please help me. I am a greedy man. I made a bad wish. Come and save me!

Dion. : You are a good man. But greed is a terrible thing. Take this water and wash your face and hands with it.

King: Thank you, Dionysus! I am all right now.

And King Midas was never greedy again.

You cannot buy for gold!

They come out to bow, sing King Midas, dance

King Midas was a rich man,

But a little greedy too.

He wished he could have lots more gold,

One day his wish came true.

He touched a leaf, a loaf of bread

A flower a cup of wine.

King Midas laughed “They’ve turned to gold!”

And all this gold is mine!

King Midas could not eat or drink

“What shall I do?” - he said.

“I wish my cup of wine was wine,

I wish my bread was bread!”

So live your life as it was done

Don’t think that money is all.

There are some things beneath the sun

You cannot buy for gold!

King Midas oh the secret of your touch
King Midas oh I like your smile so much
King Midas oh the way you spin me round
I'm going down down down to Vegas
