The Greatest Thing EVER
I have a tremendous passion. I guess I'm lucky, not everybody can say that. I LOVE theater. Actually, I just love performing. I am an entertainer through and through (even when I'm not on the stage). I absolutely can't live with out it.
In the past year or so I have really begun to take this performing thing seriously. I mean, I was a performance major so obviously I take it seriously. But now, I have a plan. I am auditioning for everything. I have some pretty big goals with theater and opera. Just this weekend I had an audition for an Opera Company ---- I'm really doing this. I'm not just TALKING about it like I do with so many other things in my life.
I'm currently rehearsing for my next show, Pirates of Penzance. It's going to be so much fun and I'm super excited to perform at the Bagley Wright theater in the Seattle Center. I finally feel like I'm moving up in the world of theater.
We had rehearsal tonight and that old excited, butterfly feeling came back to me. It always does when I perform, but I kind of forget about it when I'm not doing it. There is just something about becoming someone else on stage and completely immersing yourself in a role. Not to mention, theater people are the greatest group of people I know --- everybody is laughing and cracking jokes and everybody is so full of life!
Anyway, it's a great feeling to know that I have a true passion in life. I could not live without the sound of applause every now and then and nothing compares to the adrenaline rush when you are on stage by yourself singing a song to a packed house. Absolutely nothing compares. I must do this the rest of my life. I truley belive it was what I was born to do --- and I'm so glad that that is the case!
