Theater is Life. Life is Theater.\u201d is a new book authored by Angela Tortorici Mantero, a Shelton, CT mother of four who has been active in virtually all aspects of the theater for several decades. The book takes expressions used in the theater and shows, as life lessons, how they may be applied to various aspects of one\u2019s life. <\/p>\n \u201cAfter spending every possible moment in a theater space throughout high school and college, I left it all behind to get married and start a family, wondering what I would ever do with all my theater experience as an actor, director and production team member,\u201d Mantero said. <\/p>\n \u201cWell, after almost 20 years of working with middle school and high school theater groups and performing onstage, as well, it\u2019s clear to me that theater impacts life far beyond the stage. Now, as an adjudicator for two regional award programs for high school theater, I travel all over Connecticut seeing upwards of two dozen shows each year. The level of talent, experience and resources varies greatly. But the one thing that is consistently abundant is the courage and creativity of kids becoming and doing more than they ever thought they could and having the time of their lives.<\/p>\n \u201cWriting \u2018Find Your Light! Theater is Life. Life is Theater\u2019 has been an unexpected and gratifying culmination of sharing my passion for theater with others. These theater lessons have helped me live a better life. I hope they do the same for you,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n Mantero explained what inspired her to write the book.<\/p>\n \u201cI was talking with my father after working with a high school theater group in 2021. As the director, I had told one of the kids to find his light, and my dad said, \u2018That\u2019s a great name for a book of theaterisms and the life lessons they imply.\u2019 So, we worked on the book on and off over the past three years and now have something worth sharing with all students and lovers of theater.\u201d<\/p>\n Mantero\u2019s father is Anthony J Tortorici, a retired public relations executive who served as contributor, co-editor and, as owner of Bella Dolci LLC, publisher of the book. <\/p>\n Typically, a theaterism<\/a> is shown on the left page and its corresponding life lesson<\/a> is the facing page on the right. For example, the saying, \u201cfind your light\u201d as a theaterism is defined, in part, to be about the \u201c\u2026\u2019hot spot\u2019 on stage where the lighting is best. Be aware and position yourself there to be properly illuminated….\u201d Then the life lesson on the facing page, in part, is explained as \u201cIt means to discover and pursue your passions in life. It involves identifying what brings you joy, fulfillment, and a sense of purpose and direction. Once you have found your light, you can use it as a guiding force to achieve your goals and serve others\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n Believed to be the first book of its kind, \u201cFind Your Light! Theater is Life. Life is Theater\u201d is available through more than 39,000 retail and library outlets in person and online, in hardbound, paperback and eBook formats on more than 40 top publishing platforms including Amazon, Kindle, and Barnes & Noble.
