As the text indicates, many theatres are devoted to the experiences and interests of specific groups of people. Discuss why such theatres might be valuable to members of those groups. What might be the effect on people if the stories and images they encounter did not include people and experiences that reflected their own? If the representation of these experiences is separated from the experiences of other groups, does this weaken the connections between groups of people? If you are not a member of a particular group, would you be inclined to go to such a theatre? Why or why not?

What will be an ideal response?
