Theatre
I’m in a kind of thinking mood, also working my Productions audition monologues, and for some reason it stopped me dead in my tracks and I questioned myself “do I really want to make a living out of this?”
To be honest, I sorta doubted myself for a quick instance. So I thought about it, I looked at myself preparing for some other kind of job/profession, and I really couldn’t see myself doing anything else.
I mean sure, I love video editing, but I don’t have the passion for it. The only thing I truly feel like I have an absolute passion for, is theatre. I know how cliche this will sound, but I couldn’t imagine myself doing anything else. It takes people forever to find their certain niches, and I’m so glad I found mine 4 years ago. I couldn’t see myself in band right now, even though I played the alto saxophone for five years, in honor band, I really couldn’t see myself anywhere else but in theatre, may it be on stage or back stage.
I guess you could say I’m obsessed with it. I’ll admit to it, I am. It’s the one thing I think about everyday. “Maybe I should look up that play, that monologue, that character, etc.”, “What if we did this play next year, or I got to direct a play, what play would I pick?”, “I wonder what exercises we’ll be learning in class this week, what improv techniques and styles will we learn next?” are among the various thoughts that run through my mind all day.
Well this turned into a bigger post than expected. But. Point is, I really couldn’t be happier or see myself doing anything else but theatre. I may not be the best actor in the world, but it’s certainly something I’m 100% passionate about, and something I’d be willing to perfect for years to come.
