Famous quotes containing the word theater:

    When the theater gates open, a mob pours inside, and it is the poet’s task to turn it into an audience.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    I want to give the audience a hint of a scene. No more than that. Give them too much and they won’t contribute anything themselves. Give them just a suggestion and you get them working with you. That’s what gives the theater meaning: when it becomes a social act.
    Orson Welles (1915–1984)

    screenwriter
    Tony Pastor, the pioneer of vaudeville, played the theater in 1876.... He had been preceded by P.T. Barnum, and an occasional performer such as Professor Simmons, “Great, Weird, Wondrous, and Invincibly Incomprehensible ... Basiliconthamaturgist.”
    State of Utah, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
