Applied
and Interactive Theatre Guide
".... a resource for those who use theater techniques for other or more than arts or entertainment purposes, and for those whose theater styles incorporate other than traditional presentation styles."
Theater is an amazing way of expressing everything from feelings to political standpoints. It is also something that no matter what your talent is, you can showcase it in theater. You don't have to be an actor to show your talent in theater. If you are talented in building things or such things as publicity you can make your talents known in the world of theater.
Theater is one of the broadest fields there is. It does not matter what your interest is, most likely there is a way to tie it to the world of theater.
