Performance

I first got involved in Theatre when I was in a lighting class last spring and was helping out with the lighting for Big River. I thought the show was very good and it was fascinating to me. I found myself wanting to do something like that, because it looked like so much fun. I thought to myself that I could do something like that, even though I did not have any acting experience, and had never been ina play before.  During high school, I was not really interested in acting or being in the choir, even though my parents and my sister tried to convince me to go out for it.  Then one day, after I had started attending EOU, I was registering for my classes and my advisor said that I needed to take a fun class. She asked if I might like Art, but it did not seem to be interesting to me. Then she said, “How about acting”? I said I would give it try to see if I liked it or not. When fall term came around, I went to my Acting I class to try it out and after a week I started to get into it.  One day while working, I saw a sign that said, “Auditions for Coyote Tales”, so I asked my acting professor, April Curtis about it and she asked me if I was going audition. I said maybe and she told me that I could get extra credit for the Acting I class. So I did it, not knowing what to expect.  I went out and did what ever they told me to do even though it was embarrassing. After a while, I was of having a lot fun, even though I was doing some weird and crazy stuff.  After a two-day audition, I found out that I had gotten a part in Coyote Tales and I was shocked and very happy..  After that, I really got into acting.  I am very glad to be part of the theatre program. I was recently cast in Raised In Captivity and am looking forward to a new experience in this area of acting.
