A

I was on the train going to work reading a newspaper. A pregnant (怀孕的) woman sat nearby, with a child in a stroller(童车) and luggage on her other side. It was midday so the train wasn’t crowded. I didn’t think anything of her. But later she started grimacing (表情痛苦的). Two women beside me noticed and I saw one lady go over to her asking if she was on her way to hospital. I heard the pregnant lady say she was on her way to the Jamaica station. She looked like she was giving birth to a baby and I thought these kind women would help her.

I became nervous when they both left at their stop. I was nearing my stop, and I could see she was very uncomfortable. So, I asked if she needed any help. She said no, she was fine; her mom was going to pick her up at the station, which was 3 stops after mine. I decided I would make sure she got safely off the subway.

She was grimacing more and more. I took hold of her luggage while she pushed her child in the stroller. I knew I would never forgive myself if I heard she was on the 6:00 pm news giving birth in the underpass. I walked with her till I saw her mother at the end of the platform. I said take care and good luck; I felt I had to do the right thing and not to turn a blind eye. I told her she needed my help and I was there; she said she would do the same and said “God bless you” and gave me a quick hug.

When I looked back she was still in pain and could barely walk, and I was very happy I had helped her and hoped someone would do the same if he were in such a situation.

Community theatre is a theatre that is run by a local district with the efforts of volunteers. They offer many different kinds of productions, such as musical theatre, dance theatre and children’s theatre. Usually, performer s are amateurs (业余爱好者) who receive no pay, but at other times professionals get involved, and they are paid. Community theatres are a great way to get involved with local actors. Now, most theatres around the world are community theatres. The definition of community theatre is a theatre that puts on shows that will entertain or benefit the community.

In the 1880s, “little theatre” was started in Europe so that poor people could see theatrical productions without having to travel far or pay a lot. In 1910, this idea traveled to the United States. In the early years, community theatres were even funded by the government, but when shows became too political, government funding was stopped.

Community theatres of today are a little different from the old “little theatres”, as most simply want to infuse (注入) a little culture into the life of the local citizens. In many cases, these theatres are run by colleges and their theatre departments. These productions are often free of charge, or charge very little money to pay for costumes and other small expenses. Many also encourage the participation of children and other young people to let them develop theatrical skills, as well as to keep them busy so that they do not choose to get into trouble. Additionally, for those who desire strongly to become professional actors and to one day get a chance to act in a national theatre production, it is an exciting place to learn and develop theatrical skills.
