Greek Mythology Experience

In my sophomore year of high school, I was in a play called Greek Mythology Olympiaganza. I made new friends because of this event that I feel I will have for the rest of my life. During this event I learned how to control my actions and feelings while performing. I have wanted to major in acting and to perform in more plays since this moment happened. This event in my life is crucial to me because, it made me realize that I can and want to make people laugh.
In my sophomore year of high school I learned why I cherish acting so much. My school was holding auditions for a comedy play called Greek Mythology Olympiaganza. I knew the moment I heard about this play that I wanted to try out for it. During auditions, each person was to read …show more content…
We read the script for the first time together with much enthusiasm. It was at that time that I met Mr. Schaefer, who was one of the drama teachers and the director of the play.

One of my favorite scenes was where I had to procure a step stool so I could look directly into his eyes. This produced much laughter from the audience and it was difficult for Eugene and I to hold back our laughter. The stage crew also appreciated my company and thought I was accomplishing an excellent job in the play. Perhaps the most noteworthy friend I made was Mr. Schaefer himself. Mr. Schaefer assisted me extensively while we rehearsed for the play. When I possessed difficulty speaking my lines clearly he taught me how to speak them more clearly and gradually. He also taught me how to utilize accents so that my characters could be easily identified. He also assisted me on how to stand still when I needed to. I listened to his advice attentively and wholeheartedly. Mr. Schaefer’s advice has supported me a lot since then and I hope that more of his wisdom will aid me in the future.
