Even if it’s in a community production or just among friends, acting helps build confidence and, sometimes discover something new about yourself

what they don’t tell you about acting, what they hide behind the expensive courses and psychobabble theories, is that it’s mostly very silly and anyone can do it.
you go into any random basement in this country and you’ll probably find a buncha folks making music together. let’s start doing that with plays! write something fun, wear kooky costumes from thrift store clothing pieces, paint a backdrop on a white sheet, et… voilà!

Just finished up a week-long run of Shakespeare's Richard the Third and feeling so proud of everyone involved. I love acting and hope it'll become a bigger part of my life, but even with that said working on this latest production has been so inspirational. I've met and gotten to know so many fantastic people putting their all into theatre as a hobby — for a few of them this was their first time onstage and it was so fun watching them grow and shine as we neared opening night.
Personally, my role in the play as the Duchess of York wasn't a key character, but it was one I found massively challenging for a number of reasons — but once we got into live performances something clicked and I felt like with each show I learned something new about myself and the role.
I can't recommend this enough as an opportunity to meet new people, push yourself out of your comfort zone, and also guilt your friends into spending nearly three hours in a dark cramped room 😁

low stakes, explicitly just for amateurs to have fun, good bonding experience. many community theaters are desperate for people to audition. acting is fun and reading scripts is fun and if you want to try it you should. as for cons i can’t think of many universal ones. you can have a bad time but mostly only if you let yourself. if you don’t wanna go right into auditioning for plays you can just read/study playscripts on your own and utilize plenty of free resources online for the actual technical stuff of how to begin acting
