Why do you do this? I didn't get involved with theatre until I was a sophomore in high school. I had tried so many things before then, but didn't really feel like I belonged until I was able to be part of a show. That feeling caused me to pursue theatre further, all the way to getting a degree in it from SMU. It has established confidence, love, and respect towards myself and others. I want to help kids find these values and lessons like I did, but hopefully earlier!
