Okay hey I'm Morgan...Not going to give my age or where I live just know I'm in Middle School...Here's my story about becoming obsessed with theatre
Okay so this all starts in 7th grade..I was going to a brand new school and wasn't going to know anybody there..lI decided at this point I wanted to do YouTube because I looked up to all the YouTubers I watched..still do..Anyway as a result I decided to take Theatre as one of my electives..Keep in mind I had stage fright..In the first few weeks of this class I hated it I hated the stress and having stage fright going up onto stage terrified me...until..We were doing a unit on Greek and Roman theatre..Our assignment was to be put into a group of people and create a script and perform it..This was my first step..My group did a play about being haunted/possessed by a skull killing every member in the cast..This skit not only went well but I met 2 of my best friends through it and I discovered I loved acting..My stage fright was mostly gone..I was going to try out for the play (Wizard Of OZ) but I didn't have my monologue prepared in time so instead I did crew..Being on crew was an amazing experience especially since I did set and helped change the set during the shows..I was dating the guy playing the Tin Man and my best friend played the Scarecrow..I met a lot of friends on the cast..a few months pass and my life begins to go downhill..My mom was getting more sick by the day and by the time next play auditions came..She was extremely sick(cancer)..But I tried out anyway..And I got a part not huge only 30 lines but my character was very important..Even before rehearsals started my life went completely downhill..I broke up with my boyfriend..and my..my Mom passed away........
Anyway Theatre became an outlet once again for me..I was and am still mentally unstable and depression and anxiety runs my life most of he time..I started cutting like 2 weeks before she died and kept doing it..I say this because one day changing into our costumes my friends noticed and they were there/are still here for me..I can't express how much I love my friends who are more like my family then anything else..It's been a few months since the play ended and since our theatre teacher got fired theatre now sucks..I got together with my ex but am going to break up with him..To be with the girl that makes me happy
