Peter Manos on
the Effect of Theater
at Notre Dame College

"There are a number of (students) that are very talented and have a lot of motivation toward the performing arts that haven’t been tapped yet. And I find…that when you put them in presentational venues, they learn very quickly… the results are astonishing…I think literature stays on the page too much; it needs to jump off the page. In the world of presentation, in the world of theater, that happens. It informs what you read, it informs how you read, and it informs what you remember."
