That's exciting! But alas I am not theatrical in the sense of performing - publicly at least! I am far to timid for that.
I like to watch though and I like to read a little shakespeare here and there.
In another lifetime I would be far braver than I am in this.

Quote:
'What I felt that night, and what I did, I no more expected to feel and do, than to be lifted in a trance to the Seventh Heaven. Cold, reluctant, apprehensive, I had accepted a part to please another: Ere long, warming, becoming interested, taking courage, I acted to please myself. Yet the next day, when I thought it over, I quite dissapproved of these amateur perfomances; and though glad that I had obliged M. Paul, and tried my own strength for once, I took a firm resolution never to be drawn into a similar affair. A keen relish for dramatic expression had revealed itself as part of my nature; to cherish and exercise this new found faculty might gift me with a world of delight but it would not do for a mere looker-on at life: the strength and longing must be put by; and I put them by, and fastened them in with the lock of a resolution which neither time nor temptation has since picked. [ Vilette, Charlotte Bronte]
