On Wednesday, January 13th, I performed on stage for the
first time. As someone who takes part in so many activities, it's extremely
difficult to find the time to be a part of any production. For me, it was a
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to try acting through the Senior Play Project.
Auditions (试镜)came first. They weren't particularly
difficult, more to see who may be a better fit tor certain roles. We were told
our roles in the various plays, and started to work immediately.
I was unsure of how I was as an actor, and I had to learn a
lot fast: actions, my place in the story, my reactions, and countless other
small details... As I began to improve as an actor, I was able to understand my
characters better.
My first character is a man named Roger who is a senior
advisor to a presidential candidate in a play called "The Spot." He's
a short-tempered guy who says what he wants and takes what he wants to assist
his candidate in today's tough political races. He's on the set of The Spot, an
advertisement for the candidate, to make sure everything runs smoothly and that
any problems are dealt with quickly and efficiently.
While I had really interesting characters, and the plays
were funny and such a great experience to act in, I really love the Senior Play
Project for the people. I worked with 12 other seniors who not only loved what
they were doing, but offered help and advice throughout my entire learning
process.
Between the lights, sounds, costume and makeup, and plenty
more, theatre is a team sport just like basketball or baseball. There are no
small parts; there is no one who isn't needed. I've learned to appreciate live
theatre, and the effort that every person in the show, both onstage and
offstage, puts into it.
