Personal Narrative-Come To Lake Arlington Branch Library

Improved Essays
It was a bright sunny day. I decided to go to the South East Library. As I entered, my mother saw a flyer for a teen drama camp. The flyer read: Come to Lake Arlington Branch Library to get the basics in acting, fun with other kids, and a chance to perform a play I thought about it for a while, and came to the conclusion, I’ll do it.
Tuesday I arrived at 1:00 pm to the Lake Arlington Library. I found myself surrounded by kids in an itty bity room. There were at least twenty teenagers and one instructor. The instructor rallied us all together. She gave a great big welcome and thanks for coming speech. After the speech, I played the mirror game with my soon to be best friend. It was a tremendous thing. We were in sync with each other. I then

What are the roles? What is the play about?” The week seemed to go by extra slow. When I finally received the email, I was just a ball of nerves. The play was going to be about different things. Some of it was going to be scary, some of it was going to be about everyday life, and people on vacation. The play was a play inside of a play. There were so many roles. I couldn’t make up my mind which role was best for me. I had to make a decision because the next meeting was in a

    At that time a cast member would come stand next to someone in the audience and read off a paper tablet like he just googles an answer. That little action would make the audience laugh and probably get their attention. Another thing I would take from this play is to have fun and enjoy what my work of art. You could tell they all enjoyed working together and had fun while performing. Even the people working the lights to the producers all had a smile on their face and you could tell they really…

    This play was one of the longest plays I had ever sat in on, but it didn’t feel like it. The characters and the story kept making me want more. It was that good!

    The sidewalk beneath my feet has begun to erode away, pieces of rock and fragmented cement escaping onto the barren street.

    When I was a sophomore, I was just as shy as I was when I was a freshman, so going to a new club meeting was daunting. But, I loved theater, so I had no excuse not to go to the stage crew meeting at my school. I went to the meeting, didn’t speak to anyone and when I left I felt okay. I still felt nervous and maybe a little intimidated by the people I saw at the meeting and the director. Not to mention that I saw the schedule that I would have to commit to if I was a part of this production.…
