Nowadays theatre is less popular than cinema

People are lucky to have an opportunity to choose the way they want to spend their free time, for example, whether to go to the cinema or to the theatre.. Some people believe that theatre is starting to gain in popularity with the public. Others suppose that nowadays theater is not as popular as cinema is. As for me I would prefer to go to the cinema.

To my mind, cinema is more popular than theatre nowadays. I think one of the main reasons is that performances are far more difficult to understand and films, on the contrary, are closer to the life of ordinary people and are easier for them to grasp. In addition to this, tickets to the theatre are getting more and more expensive, thus many people cannot afford to buy them often.

In contrast to this, opponents of this view say that the popularity of theatre is increasing nowadays. I cannot agree with it because in case theatre was really so popular, the administration of many theatres wouldn’t have started the programme of public attraction, especially for students and young families, giving tickets at a lower price.

To sum up, I believe that cinema has more popularity than theatre because it meets the needs of modern society. In comparison with theater, the atmosphere in cinema is more free and democratic, consequently, it is more popular with young people.
