State Theatre (Eau Claire, Wisconsin)

The State Theatre is a nonprofit venue for the performing arts and entertainment, located in downtown Eau Claire, Wisconsin with seating for 1100 people. It was first opened as a vaudeville theatre in 1926, then several years later converted to a movie house that closed in 1982. In 1984 the Theatre was donated to a group of arts-minded community members called the Eau Claire Regional Arts Council to create a center for artistic expression. After a significant renovation it reopened the doors in 1986. It is now used by a number of local performing arts organizations including: Chippewa Valley Symphony, Chippewa Valley Theatre Guild, Chippewa Valley Youth Choirs, Eau Claire Children's Theatre, Valley Gospel Choir and UW - Eau Claire.

It was interesting to see such an old theatre that is about 84 years old. It doesn’t seem that old from the outside.  I really wanted to see it from the inside to experience the history it holds between its walls, but it was closed. Maybe one day I have the chance.

Culture in definition is?

Different places have different cultures. Culture is the essence that gives the individual his identity.  It is that mixture that  relates the person to his origin and place and distinguishes him from others. It is that element  that creates  the diversity  between people. culture is the finger print that makes a particular society unique and worth discovering.  Culture includes almost all aspects of life in a particular society. This can include the language, food, clothes, way of thinking and religion. Some aspects of the culture might  change overtime. No matter how much it changes, culture should reserve its uniqueness and genuineness  .  

RCOAS students VS UWEC students

     There are many differences between the RCOAS( Rustaq College Of Applied Science) and UWEC students. The first difference is the way Americans dress when coming to the university. UWEC students dress in a very casual way. They come wearing the normal home clothes like flip-flops and shorts. On the contrary, the RCOAS students dress in a very formal way following the college rule of dressing. The second difference is the way Americans greet and call their teachers. Americans can great their teachers by saying hello or Hi and their first name while passing by. While Omani students great their teachers formally by adding Doctor, professor or even teacher before their teachers' first name, and they shake hands if they are from the same gender. The third difference is that UWEC students are more open to disagree with their teachers and they are used to it. Whereas, the RCOAS students mostly feel shy to disagree with their teachers even if the teacher allows and encourages disagreement .The last difference is that UWEC students like reading and almost most of the students carry a book to read whenever they have time. Compare to RCOAS students, very few students tend to like reading and you barely see a student carrying a book a part from their text books. I think these differences are influenced by the cultural aspects of life.
