Hey guys! Just finished FOUR runs of my play. Wheeeewww! I'm exhausted and my voice is gone, but the show went GREAT!! We got so much applause and love, and I had a lot of fun! I would recommend trying out theater, its fun and full of nice, non-judgmental people!

Wow! That's amazing! I've always been too scared to try for theater, since I am super shy. I have always been scared of being up on stage because I am super self conscious of my singing and acting.
