It's awesome that you have found success in your acting ability so far. Continue on your journey by trying to get better at what you do. This means, in addition to performing in plays, you should try to get some formal lessons. If you are working in Musical Theater, you should be studying singing, dancing and acting. It also doesn't hurt to be able to play an musical instrument.

Hope this helps...

Everyone gets nervous, some just don't make it so obvious. Check your city or Province/State for performing arts schools, classes or workshops. Depending on your location, look for acting job opportunities. Maybe you could start as an extra (people in the background) and work your way to bigger roles. Either way if you have a passion for it you will definitely shine threw! Have more confidence in yourself.

Practice makes perfect.
Well, take part in an acting course, acting club or register at a local theater. Or you can do some small productions like those here http://www.backstage.com
