Do you not get to go to any plays with school? I know there are theatres near you - my friend who moved to Oz works in one!
Or, when you're older, come to the UK and I'll line up a bunch of shows for you to see!

"Woman In Black" on the stage was brilliant. I was full of admiration for the amount of suspense they managed to create with just two actors and a fairly minimal set. Excellent lighting and sound effects. Just great. And I didn't jump! I did nearly break a finger while gripping the seat but no jumping.

Rant commences:

The Fortune Theatre is lovely. It's really tiny! They seem to have some sort of programme of events for schools, which I think is great, except when the entire place is full of screeching teenagers with an attention span of about thirty seconds and absolutely no respect for anyone else in the audience, nor the actors. I had a huge gaggle of squealing girls playing with their iPhones and flicking their hair around in the two rows in front of me and all of the rows behind were filled with the most obnoxious, ignorant, disrespectful German kids imaginable. They chatted throughout, shoved each other, answered phone calls. Urgh. My class at school at that age was pretty rowdy, but we'd be noisy on the coach to the theatre, during the interval to let off steam and on the way home. Never in a million years would we have behaved like that during the performance. If anyone had made even the tiniest peep, a teacher would have hauled them out by their ear and they'd get zero for the assignment right then. What a bunch of self-absorbed, insolent, witless little shines.

Rant ends.

Sorry about that. Feel better now.
