Do you know what a theatre is?
A theatre is a kind of art that shows different stories from people's lives, which actors show to the audience.
There are different kinds of theatres.
In puppet theatre shows, puppets act. Actors move and speak for the puppets.
In a drama theatre, dressed-up actors perform in front of the audience.
In music theatre shows, actors dance – this is ballet,
or sing words with music – this is opera.

Interesting shows happen in the Pantomime Theatre.
Actors show the mood and feelings of characters without words,
only with facial expressions, gestures, and expressive movements,
that is, with body language.
This skill is very important not only for actors,
because you also need to know how to see the feelings of people around you,
and also show your own.
You can see unusual shows in the Shadow Theatre.
The lights go off, and behind a half-transparent screen
the shadows of different figures start to move.
In the show, there can be people-actors
or special flat puppet figures, which actors move.
And here, a circus show is exciting with acrobats' tricks,
different magic tricks and more.
In the circus, actors perform on the stage called the "arena".

There are such rooms in a theatre.
The foyer, where photos of actors are on the walls.
The cloakroom is for keeping the audience's coats.
The buffet is a place where you can have a snack during the break – the break between acts in a show.
The audience hall. There are seats for the audience.
And also the stage, where the actors perform.
Behind the stage are the make-up room and the costume room.
