**Part 2:**

This semester has been incredibly eye-opening in terms of the history and evolution of theater. From the Greeks to modern Broadway musicals, each theatrical era had its own unique characteristics and contributions to the art form.

The Greek era, represented in my collage by a picture of a Greek theater mask and a Greek theater ruins, laid the foundation for Western theater with its emphasis on tragedy and comedy. The Romans, on the other hand, focused more on spectacle and entertainment, which can be seen in the picture of a Roman theater and a mosaic depicting a theatrical performance.

The Renaissance brought about a resurgence of interest in the arts, leading to a revival of classical texts and the birth of modern theater as we know it. The Romanticism era emphasized emotion and the supernatural, while Realism brought a focus on everyday life and social issues.

Finally, modern theater, particularly Broadway musicals, has become a powerhouse of creativity and innovation. The picture of a Broadway marquee and a scene from a popular musical represent the diversity and vibrancy of contemporary theater.

Overall, this collage represents my journey through the various theatrical eras, each contributing to the rich tapestry of theater history. I have learned to appreciate the depth and complexity of this art form and look forward to exploring it further in the future.
