Finally Back!

Wow. I haven't written here in a very long time. I kinda forgot I had a blog to be honest, haha. Oh well. I'm finally back.

Here's a theatre update:

-I wrapped up a show called An Opera House Christmas Carol a couple weeks ago. It was a parody musical of Dicken's classic tale, A Christmas Carol. I was the Ghost Of The Opera House Future which was a lot of fun. I got to have turquoise hair and everything

-Recently I submitted a video of me as Belle in Beauty & The Beast as a job application. Well, I got the job and will be moving to the Houston, Texas area the end of this month. It's at a really cool place and I will also have the opportunity to apply to work at other theatre groups as well. As well as have a meeting with an agent. So it seems like a little bit of my future is finally falling into place. I would have none of this if it wasn't for my amazing mother in law who talked me up to the owners of this place I'll be working at. I'm very excited because I will have so many great opportunities. I trust that this is God's plan and that whatever happens is for a reason..so I'm very happy and optimistic. And no matter what I will stay that way.

Community Theater

It is hard when you live in a small town to find a way to fuel your creativity once you are done with high school. You don't have the high school productions to be involved with every year and you don't have a mellow choir class to attend every day. But there is something out there for you.

Community theater is a great creative outlet. You don't have to join a union, it's easy to get cast, and the people are there to have fun. A lot of small towns have a community theater and if not, there are usually some in a nearby town. I have had a lot of fun doing community theater productions in my tiny, boring town and I recommend it to everyone.

There is not all fun and games when it comes to community theater though. I have had many difficult moments with it and I have known many other people in theater world who had the same problems. And this problem is, that everyone in community theater is cliquey.

Now when I say everyone, I don't mean everyone. But the majority of the people in it, are in a shut-off from the world, won't let anyone else in-clique. I have done many productions in community theater and I still do not feel completely welcome. Everyone knows each other and no one talks to me. I have been performing outside of high school in community theater productions since my junior year of high school and I still do not feel welcome. The shows are fun and I love being on that stage, but I feel like an outsider.

I suggest you try community theater because you will have a blast. But maybe bring a friend or two to the audition so you can have some people to interact with during rehearsals.

(I want to make a note that not every community theater in the world is like this. This is just my experience and also, the experience of some of my theater-world friends.)
