Why do you love the theater? "It has changed me as a person, definitely", he answers. "If one would apply the discipline he has learned in theater to his life, you can achieve so much. It has enriched my life ten folds. It made me more sensitive to the feelings of others. Let's face it, a theater play is always a product of group effort. It will not run without team work that is why sensitivity is very important. Theater makes you aware of the fact that you can not do it all alone, each and every one is important. You have to care for your co-actors and you have to love your audiences as well.
