The title pretty much says it all!.
I used to do tons of community theater and loved it! When we switched drama directors in the 7th grade, things were different!. The new head disliked me!. It was fine that she put me in small roles, but when she told me during the production,"I should have cast someone else"!. I was upset!. Being 12 and much more sensitive than I am now, I promised never to do it again!.
So, now, I'm a sophomore in high school!. A few weeks ago, I tried out for the school play!. It went HORRIBLY, but I loved every minute of being on stage! It's all I can think about!. As bad as I was, I just want to do it again and again and Again!
The problem is that I'm an honor roll student, and my parents are very focused on academics!. They want me to be a lawyer, and I don't want to disappoint them!. However, nothing has made me this excited since I used to do community theater!.
Another issue is that I live in rural, northern Ohio!. THey don't have acting classes here or anything!. I want experience, but I also want to hone my craft!. I have a cousin who minored in theater in college who lives in Boston!. We're pretty close, and I could pitch in with rent money!.
I know I sound like I'm getting ahead of myself, but I can't explain it!. Yes, I will finish high school and go to college, but I don't want to wonder what could have been!. I want to create a stable future for myself, but I want to do something I love!. I know this isn't a stable or easy environment, but the idea of not having it kills me!. What should I do!?
