Entertaiment is an umbrella term that encompasses a broad spectrum of activities that delight the senses or enchant the imagination. Entertainment often crosses boundaries between different disciplines, creating a synthesis that results in the kind of synergy that produces some of the most exciting works in theater, dance, music, film, and even sports. The familiar forms of entertainment we know and love have also demonstrated a remarkable ability to endure through the ebb and flow of popular culture, suggesting that these are timeless themes and images with a seemingly unlimited potential for creative remix.
