Personal Narrative: My Passion For Theater

Improved Essays
I am extremely passionate about theatre. I first auditioned for the fall play of my freshman year, and though I did theatre in middle school, I was very ill formed. Consequentially, I only made hair and makeup crew for that production. However, by the winter One Act, my audition was immensely improved. In that play, The Romancers, I was cast as the lead female.

Still, when backstage, I have a reputation as a leader.…

    The Delusive Dramatist from Myslenice The girl sat in the corner of the train car, she rotated from rocking herself back and forth in a fetal position and singing to herself softly. Every once in awhile she would pull out her notebook and scribble in it, only when she was sure that no one else was looking, or so she thought. All hours of the day she spoke to herself, setting a tense scene, I could feel the lies as she spoke them, nothing she told herself was true. She knew it, I knew it, but it seemed to be the only thing she had left.…
