My family was talking about my sisters project where she had to make a Roman theatre. In it she put some guys stabbing each other, as a demonstration of how plays sometimes consisted of people actually killing each other to make it more realistic.

I mentioned that they used slaves and criminals, since they would have a hard time getting actors to play the part of someone that actually dies, and my dad disagreed.

He said: No, people were dying to have that job.

Sorry if something like this has already been posted.

My local theatre is showing a play called 'The Dictionary.'

It's a play on words.

My second pun:

I was disappointed by my recent theatre trip the other day: I thought it was a comedy set in a hospital but turns out it was just a play on wards.

Dad is visiting me at art school

We pass a theatre called the Hanes Brand Theatre. My dad says "The Hanes Brand Theatre? What do they do there?" "What does it sound like they do, dad..." "It sounds like that's where you go to watch brief plays."

Old guy in hospital dad joked me

I work in a hospital and part of my job is taking patients from their ward to surgery. I walked up to this old guy who is laying there with all these tubes attached to him and say "Hey buddy, I'm here to take you to theatre". He lifts his head a little and whispers "Really? What movie is playing?"

I wanted to high five the poor guy, it was awesome!
