Both sports and theatre are important...it always depends on one's taste which they would prefer to relax with...But briefly said sport cannot replace theatre and theatre cannot replace sport - these are totally different things, both important....

yes cause nowadays, people need a healthy body than an emotional treatment...

nope. I don't think it's right to cut the music programs and keep the sports.

I'm not a runner but excelled in music. There's got to be an outlet for everyone.

I dont believe that either is more important than the other. They are both forms of entertainment for different people. Some people prefer to watch a game than go to a show and vice-versa.

I think they are equally important, people are created differently and we all need a focus and outlet of whats inside. being involved with either one also helps people to connect and thats the benefit of being involved with either one as well as releiving stress....my opinion.

I think that both of them are important, and it takes an equal amount of time and dedication to be invovled with both. I've played a sport before, and the time and effort it took wore me out...But I'm a theater kid and that's what I do with the majority of my time. I wake up at 5:45 to go to morning rehearsals at my school, and then I have night reheards from 6 to 9 every night. I think that people don't appreciate the talent, dedication, and strength that it takes to be involved with theater. It's important to keep a healthy body, I agree, but I don't think sports are more important than theater. People don't appreciate what the theater can do for them and the actors themselves.

i think both are equally important. some folks are sports people and some folks are theater people. doesn't mean one is better than the other. i personally adore football and racing but i love the theater also. as far as in school--i think both are important because both help develop important skills that kids can use later in life. i realize that sports generally bring in more money, but in the community i live in, theater brings in a ton too so the arguement that sports always brings in more money is incorrect.

Is that the title for your report? If so, it is asking for YOUR opinion. So pick a side and support that argument. After all both of them are performances to please crowds! Both of them wear strange outfits while doing it and both of them pay well if you are at the highest level.

No, I believe theatre can give you a physical outlet as well as an "emotional one." Musical theatre challenges your ability to sing, dance (aerobic activity at it's best), and act. They also teach you to fine tune your body and learn control of those emotions so randomly let loose in football or wrestling. On top of all that, you learn English, diction, history, math, construction, and so much more. Theatre is drastically under funded in nearly all public schools.

I think you're in the wrong section because you may likely get a biased result :-)

I think fitness is important, but I think sports are overrated and the arts have been undervalued especially in our school system. When the shool budget gets cut, what programs get cut? The arts. Society likes to pretend that they value the arts, but they tell our children that grunting on the football field is more important. They also tell our girls that their sports programs are less important than the programs for the boys because my daughter plays basketball and the boys programs always get priority in the gym whether it be basketball, wrestling, or any other sport. They are also fully finded before girls sports.

But theatre and other arts programs? Constantly fundraising just to stay alive.

So personally I believe in my heart that theatre should be more important but society puts sports first. Also, there is dancing in theatre and if you've never done it... it can be a sport :-)

My 3 cents,
