Maybe it's shallow but I want to do it..........

I want to act. In theatre, what have you. I love that whole scene. :)

I'm going to sign up for some acting classes this fall. I figure it would help me get back intot the groove of things.

Call me crazy, but I just want to do something creative like this.

So there, I said it. I also may sign up for some creative writing courses. :)

1. That's awesome!

Theatre is a great experience for anyone involved.

4. I put it off for the last few years.......

now's the time to go back. I need a creative outlet. :)

3. Why would improving yourself be seen as shallow?

I think it's a terrific idea. Have fun! :hi:

[Darth_Kitten]

7. Actors can be seen as narcissitic and vain. (no WAY, Darth!!!)

LOL.....

I just love the escapism of acting. You can be a totally different character. Plus, it's a bonus when everybody's eyes are on you for a good reason. :)
I'm generally shy but I'm quite bold when I'm in character.

9. Have you ever heard of Shakespearian actor Douglas Campbell?

He hails from Scotland, originally....but he has been living in Quebec for many years. He's performed here many times, and will be returning in November for our theatre's production of "The Trial of Ebeneezer Scrooge"

11. No.......

but I'm taking it you have seen him and he's pretty impressive? :D

[TK421]

12. An older gentleman, he's extremely talented and one hell of a nice guy

[Darth_Kitten]

13. You've met him?

You don't find that combination too often in this world: talent, grace, and kindness. :)

[TK421]

15. We tend to think of him as a grandfather around here

[Darth_Kitten]

19. Wow!

You do know him. :)

[KG]

14. you aren't crazy, you are way cool.

i'm sure whatever play you're in would rock so hard! :headbang:

[tinfoil tiaras]

16. Ooh, i love being in plays

You should go for it! They're alot of fun & you make alot of friends. :D

17. What's shallow about expressing creativity?

[nuxvomica]

18. It's not crazy or shallow to do something you want to do

(As long as no one gets hurt, that is.) I think you should go with your bliss. If I had the talent, I'd do the same. Most of my acting was limited to a high school drama class but though I wasn't good, I really enjoyed it. This sounds like a great thing for you. :thumbsup:

20. I miss acting very much.

I haven't done it since college. One of the reasons I want to get out of retail management is so I can have more free time to do some community theater.

If you're crazy for wanting to do this, put me in a strait jacket, too.

21. My bestest friend is an actor

She just decided to do it, and got some great parts in local theatre.

Good for you. I hope you have a great time doing it.
