Straight from the horses mouth THEATER!

As my mom just mentioned I love theater. The adrenaline rush when the curtain goes up on opening night, the rehearsals and learning dances and songs but most of all getting to tell a story from the characters point of view. It lets me be in my fantasy world and still have to focus on a task. I don't really hang around many people my own age (I find them kind of annoying sometimes) but when I'm in a show I get to be around a variety of ages and I have always enjoyed being around teens and adults. The people that I've met doing theater are very accepting and don't seem to judge as much as people I go to school with. I think this is because they are all unique in their own way. I feel comfortable and at home in the theater. I have taken some great classes with great teachers who just let me be myself. My favorite was "everyting I know about theater I learned from cartoons". I would encourage anyone who feels different or like they don't fit in to give theater a try.It's not for everyone but it has been a great outlet for me and it may be for others as well. Remember, everybody is weird to someone somewhere but it just means you are unique. Don't judge others too harshly because chances are someone is judging you as well.
