MY Theatre Origins
I started out in Theatre back in Elementary school. We did a show about the American Revolution and I played John Adams. I really enjoyed the role, so I decided to join the Drama club. In 6th grade, I was in drama class and I LOVED it. Thats when I decide to audition for the Drama club but I unfortunately didn't get in. That kinda of destroyed confidence in theatre and I didn't do theatre again until 8th grade. I got a FLEX class for theatre and I auditioned for the play "Cinderella" and actually got the role Cinderella. I was also in the show "Emperor's New Clothes" and was a groupie for the emperor. I then auditioned for Mr.Garcia for the play "the Twelfth Night" and I got the role of Curio. That show unfortunately didn't go up, but that actually got me first lead role in high school. Mr.Garcia ended up doing the show "Steel Magnolias" and I played M'Lynn. I loved that show and that really paved the way for me in High school productions. I recently did the shows Sister Act and Hairspray and those were absolutely amazing. I am also in the Thespian Society as well. I encourage those who aren't sure about theatre to give it a try. Also if at first you don't succeed make sure to never give up! There are so many parts of theatre that you are bound to find something you like!
