Like #43: Plays

quotes Lander:

"white people believe that live theater is essential to any cultured city. It is not known if white people actually enjoy plays or if they are just victims of massive peer pressure from the 45% of white people who have acted in a play at some point in their life."

Zooey Deschanel is a fan of the theater. As mentioned in the post on Arts Degrees, Zooey spent a year studying musical theater at Northwestern University. She has revealed in interviews that her career began "doing musicals," and in the future, she "would love to do a musical." As a child, she has said that she "wasn't really the most charming person, socially - it took me a long time to develop my people skills - but the one place I was always comfortable was onstage, acting or singing." Zooey, then, counts as one of the "45% of white people who have acted in a play at some point in their life" that, if Lander is correct, inspires the other 55% to attend the theater.
