Not because I've ever set foot on stage, but because I live with a family who has. Her youth theater group is as much about responsibility, respect, work with community, testing one's mettle and finding it true, etc., as it is about the show itself. Though I suppose a lot of theater people would say that <i>is</i> what the show's about. (They make incredible theater, too.) First dinner I ever had with her family, they called out "Dinner's ready!" Which in my house would start a 10-15 minute time clock to table. I washed my hands and came out to find everyone seated, napkins tucked into their collars, knife and fork raised, staring at the bathroom door. Oops. Curtain time is curtain time, people.

Not that I've done much else. Been on stage since age 4. But honestly. It seems cliche, but I would definitely not be as responsible, punctual, or intelligent as I am without the theatre. And serious props to your beloved. Children's theatre is one of the most important categories of theatre, and it so often gets swept under the rug. I'd love to work in children's theatre for the rest of my life. Man, theatre’s done more for me in life than anything else I’ve ever done.
