Theater. It is a type of art and entertainment that has been practiced way back our ancestors' time and until now, it continues to be performed in schools, big auditoriums, and even in small communities.
Theater plays are not only present for budding actors to have a venue for self-expression and showcasing of talents, but they exist because all the cast and crew behind a stage performance are itching to relay a message of social significance. They yearn to somehow affect and influence its audience to realize and act on the pressing problems that negatively affect the society.
Last time, a play entitled "Basura Busters" by the University of San Agustin (USA) Little Theater was presented in the activity center of SM City Iloilo. It talked about the importance of keeping our environment clean and friendly for its inhabitants. The characters were comprised of students from the said school who acted in a setting where mundane situations in a barangay took place - gossips, fights, and of course, the issue of improper garbage disposal. With the promising talent of these student theater actors, the play had effectively provided awareness on how one must not take for granted the vitality of a green surrounding.
