The other day I went to a park
with my drama class to practice our skits. We walked through town
wearing feather boas and tutus to the park.
The park is in the middle, and a
lot of homeless people live there. When we started to practice there
were no people around the stage. Halfway through the first act I
turned around and saw people sitting in the back of the audience
watching. At the end of the first act a man walked over from the
library. As the next act started people people started to applaud and
a group of kids walked over.
And when we were done everything
went back to normal.
Fame would be great. No fame but a
leading role on Broadway would be great. But I think using the
theater to help people, if only for a moment would be better.
For me, the best part of after a
show is not the praise, but the people who come up to me and tell me
that I've made them cry/laugh. Not because I think that means my
acting was good enough to make them cry/laugh, but because I know
that our play took them out of the real world.
Being pulled out of reality and
into a play is the best feeling in the world.
