I practically came across theatre by accident.
Mrs. J, my high school English teacher, was also head of the drama department. She offered us extra-credit if we auditioned for the upcoming drama production. I figured I could use the extra boost for my English grade, so I seized the opportunity.
For the audition, we were asked to read through several monologues and scripts. When I stepped on the stage, something happened - I was transformed and transported. With a toss of my hair and an expanding of my imagination, there was an opening into a whole new world. I was Helen of Troy, I was a 20-something in a cafe, I was Anne Sullivan. I was immediately addicted.
