Personal Narrative: My First Play At The Arts Club Theater

Improved Essays
That is really great! I have interviewed many young actors who have acted longer than you and have not won any awards. That is something to be proud of.

Aw, thank you.

Not to put down the others at all, but it 's neat that you 've jumped in, and they have recognized your talent in that way.

Aw, thanks.

In your career so far, what do you think has been your most challenging role?

I 'd say my most challenging role was the first play I was ever in. It was a two hander play at the Arts Club Theatre. It 's called Armstrong 's War. The character was one who just wouldn 't stop talking. It was like one of the most fun roles I 've played in my life, but it was also kind of terrifying. I think I psyched myself out a bit 'cause I had only been acting for like a year and half at the time. I put the Arts Club {theater company in Vancouver} on a pedestal and

Is there a certain actor or actress that you would like to work with one day?

I don 't know. I have a list that is way too long of all my favorite actors, but I feel like I 'd be too nervous. I feel like I 'd be scared to work with my favorite actor. No, do you know what would happen? I 'd try to be so cool on the outside but really nervous on the inside. But I 'd be putting on so much effort to make it look like I was cool.

That 's one of those questions that if we ask you in ten years, you will have worked with so many amazing people that it won 't be any big deal to work with your favorite actors.

Yeah, we 'll have to try it again in ten years.

Well, I hope we chat again before that.

Oh yeah, for sure. (pause) You know what I notice when I meet actors that I 've known about before? You think you 're going to be freaking out, but then you meet them, and you 're like, "Oh, they 're just a person, just like a normal person. They 're probably really cool."

And that 's what I have learned. These actors and actresses are just normal people. And most of them are very nice

    There was a time, before sound was introduced to film and culture was hand picked for society, when stars were born and bred on the stage. Actors who grew an understanding of their craft by clocking in rehearsal hours, feeding off an audience during live performances, and praying to the right gods, were signed on for a starring role in a film: an advancement in their career. Today, the craft of acting and the medium in which an actor is showcased have changed landscapes and the up-and-coming “starving actor” is struggling for work. Casting for film has long been equated to having the right “look” and there seems to only be two ways to get your feet on a Broadway stage: insane talent and luck or celebrity status. Broadway’s marquees have historically been crowded by celebrity names that draw audiences and drive ticket prices up, and with recent seasons, it seems more impossible than ever to see a green name receive the top bill— raising concerns that big names are cast for profit and not artistic integrity.…

    My experience in the Mary Poppins cast has been probably one of the best things to happen to me so far in my life. At my old school in 10th grade I was in theatre, then the following year I was bullied out, and I desperately missed theatre. It was my life, I enjoy it so much and it is such a part of me. So coming here and deciding to audition on just the second day of school was a really big deal for me. I was absolutely terrified to, but I stuck through and did it anyways, and I am so happy that I did.…
