My Upcoming Performance

Ever since I came to Hanover, I had opened up and signed up to participate in the theater productions by taking the role of ASM, or Assistant Stage Manager. I was the ASM for Endgame, our first performance of the school year, back in late September and early October. For the upcoming production, As You Like It by William Shakespeare, I started out as ASM, but recently I volunteered to take two small roles for the production.

Now I am going to live out one of my dreams, to try acting on a stage in front of a live audience. I am so excited to be able to perform with the actors and actresses on the show. I am getting comfortable with the theatre people and I enjoy it a lot. I came to Hanover, hoping my shyness will go away. I hope acting will help with that shyness. So far, I have come out of my shell and allow myself to be comfortable around the people I've been seeing every night at rehearsals.

Not to mention, this will be my very first performance in front of an audience. I am not nervous, but rather excited. I have the opportunity to improve my acting skills while getting the experience of being in a play. It took some doing memorizing lines and getting the scenes down, but I am ready to go on stage and perform for the first time.

I am proud of myself for taking up the roles and memorizing my lines. I am proud for stepping up to the plate to help with plays. I am proud for coming out of my shell to be myself. I love the theatre work and I look forward to doing more with the Theatre Club, the directors, actors, and stage and booth crew. I look forward to help out with more plays and hopefully play several roles for the upcoming performances.
