As a young child who was practically raised on Disney musicals, I had always had an interest in music. This ranged from instrumental music, choral music and eventually musical theater. During my four years of high school, I had been in four musicals all ranging in difficulty but all of which required hard work from the various people involved. Looking back, while I do miss performing, being a part of these productions (no matter what the show was) required a numerous amount of patience, impeccable timing, an iron will, loads of confidence and the ability to realize that even when you put in 110% effort, not everyone will notice what you individually have done to make the show function smoothly. Because of that, I can personally relate to other theater kids who might have had similar if not the same experiences. And while I might not know every single past theater kid who reads this, I hope you can comfort in the fact that there are others out there who understand your experiences.

To whoever this may concern,
