What's it like to be in a play?

Well, I have been in plays my whole life and 4 of them were school plays. This play I will be in at Neumann will be my 5th school play. I have 4 different parts I will be acting in this play called The Death of Pilate.

Being in plays are a lot of fun, plus you have to memorize your lines and songs.

To know what it is like to be in a play, you have to ask yourself "Why do I love theater?"

It takes me away. It gives me life. It makes life more fun. It helps me learn life lessons. It helps me teach other people life lessons. It's amazing. Anything can be expressed with a song. Unlike film or television, theater is a living, breathing thing. Actors have good days and bad days. The audience is part of the show. Every performance is different. Just like life. I love it because it's an escape from life for a few hours. I get caught up in the show and everyday distractions disappear for that time. It lets me feel, it inspires me, it makes me think, it changes my life, it moves me, it opens my heart, it transports me, it opens me up, it reconnects me to what's in my heart, it breaks down barriers, it connects us, it gives me powerful music and stories ... I could go on, but there's a start.

If you around on Neumann's campus, come out to the play, The Death of Pilate, on March 16, 17 and 18 at 8 pm and March 19 at 2 pm.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
