Drama is taught in our schools not because one is expected to major in theatre, not because one is expected to perform through life, not only so one can relax, not only so one can have fun…

Drama is taught in our schools so one will recognize beauty.

Drama is taught in our schools so one will be sensitive, so one will be closer to an infinite beyond this world, so one will have more love, more compassion, more gentleness, more good.

In short, more life.

Of what value will it be to make a prosperous living unless you know how to live?

That is why drama is taught in our schools.
