Why are we here? To entertain. To bring joy. To foster community and learning through shared laughter. To lighten our shared burden of existence for a short while. Why comedy?Broadly defined and properly presented, comedy encompasses all of the human experience. It can make us laugh and make us cry. It can bring joy and it can bring anger. It makes us think and makes us forget. It exalts and ridicules. It can divert, and it can focus. Comedy levels life’s playing field. Why theater?
