The Call of the Theatre ~Creative Drama~

I was in a play once,

The Lights,
The stage,
The Curtain
and all those empty seats.

I am there now
on the stage, in the center looking out at all those empty seats. What a feeling to know all those seats will be filled soon just to see me on this stage.
Yes, I am in an empty room, with a clear black stage all alone. If someone were to come in and see me sitting on stage, I'd be embarrassed and quickly step away from the stage for I do not belong up here. But really who does belong up here? Only someone who is brave enough to audition and act dramatic in front of other people. I envy theater people, for I wish I could be so brave.

Confidence, Bravery, Adventurous....They all have it.

Confidence: For someone to be so comfortable and confident within themselves and be able to portray another side of themselves and become another character all together.
Bravery: Their bravery and talent are displayed for all to see.
Adventurous: Waning to explore

I was in a play once,
In 8th grade, it was called Cactus Pass. Cactus Pass was a twist on Romero and Juliet, two families that live in the wild wild west were feuding and Tim and Melissa were secret lovers. I had a small role; (but I heard there are no such thing of small roles in the theater)  I was one of the little sister's of Melissa and we are the prim and proper side of the family. Back then when I was in junior high I was a different person. I was shy and I hid myself from others, afraid to be mocked and teased for being different.  Now I smile, I talk to everyone, Anyone!
Now I have embraced my differences.  I say I don't care what others think but truthfully I do, how can you not? But whenever I get down, I always get back up again. ;)

My little sister Emily wants to be a actress, she wants to be a star in Hollywood but to me she is already a star for she has the adventurous side of herself and her bravery is shown each day as she practices for her audition into Baker's Dozen. For her high school dream is to be a mime. I can see why, knowing all these seats will be filled with someone's who want to see you!
Aziza was in a play once, She loved it! She made a lot of friends.

  1. I like your metaphor. Were you in a stage? Was the stage your blog? Was it your life? Was it Willie Shakespeare? Keep writing.
