Election

On October 23, 2012 we were talking about the presidential election during theatre class, and several things we discussed certainly related to theatre. First of all, the presidential debates require the candidates to have exceptional presentaiton skills, which actors must have as well. Essentially, politicians are actors. They must be convincing in their character if they want people to believe in them, just as actors must step into the role of their character if people are to enjoy and understand the play.
