What's it like to be in a play?
Well, I have been in plays my whole life and 4 of them were school plays. This play I will be in at Neumann will be my 5th school play. I have 4 different parts I will be acting in this play called The Death of Pilate.
Being in plays are a lot of fun, plus you have to memorize your lines and songs.
To know what it is like to be in a play, you have to ask yourself "Why do I love theater?"
It takes me away. It gives me life. It makes life more fun. It helps me learn life lessons. It helps me teach other people life lessons. It's amazing. Anything can be expressed with a song. Unlike film or television, theater is a living, breathing thing. Actors have good days and bad days. The audience is part of the show. Every performance is different. Just like life. I love it because it's an escape from life for a few hours. I get caught up in the show and everyday distractions disappear for that time. It lets me feel, it inspires me, it makes me think, it changes my life, it moves me, it opens my heart, it transports me, it opens me up, it reconnects me to what's in my heart, it breaks down barriers, it connects us, it gives me powerful music and stories ... I could go on, but there's a start.
If you around on Neumann's campus, come out to the play, The Death of Pilate, on March 16, 17 and 18 at 8 pm and March 19 at 2 pm.
