I was fortunate enough to have had my first theatre production at the Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis. I was a member of the children's ensemble in A Christmas Carol from 2008 - 2012. Unfortunately, the Guthrie was one of the only theatre companies where I experienced conflict between the kids. However, even when I was 11, I felt it was my duty to settle disputes. Two of the young cast members had gotten into an argument, which was a hard situation for me because both of them were my friends. So, in an attempt to solve the issue, I talked to each of them one at a time and heard each side's story, and I tried to explain the counterarguments the other side had made. I am a firm believer that no one can have a single story of any given situation.
