More Than Just Theater: Finding Yourself on the Stage of Life

Behind the scenes at Global Bridge Academy, students are struggling, not for an exam, but for a profound theater assignment. The question is, why theater? Theater, at its core, is a mirror of life. On stage, students learn to portray a variety of characters, from the heroic to the tragic. Without realizing it, we are all actors on the stage of life, playing many roles every day, whether as children, friends, or students. This assignment leads them to a fundamental question: Do we lose ourselves by playing many roles, or, conversely, do we discover pieces of ourselves through our roles? This process teaches them empathy, collaboration, and the courage to be not only someone else but also themselves. Witness the culmination of this journey and find the answer in a theater performance by Global Bridge Academy students.
