I feel a bit like when we came through the doors on the first day of rehearsals of that play, from that minute on, my whole life changed.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I saw a play in a black box theatre, and it changed my life.
I was just blown away by everything my dad was doing, every play. It was amazing to be able to go as a young person to the theater and see these visuals and how creative it could be. More than anything it was realizing you could do that as a life path.
Through every moment on stage for the first time, I felt like I was finally right where I belonged.
I finally felt that I came into my own when I went on the stage.
What really happened was one day I decided to write a new kind of play.
I feel honored to have been a part of that dramatic change.
It was the most pleasurable thing I've ever done, playing this character, and I just remember feeling so at home and so - I don't know, I was just happy - and it just wasn't ever work! It was like a sandbox for me, and I would crack myself up rehearsing.
When I finally decided that my only hope was to go to college, I took an acting class, and once I walked onstage, I just knew I was home.
In the end, one has to feel lucky that things fell out O.K. I've felt that all the years I've been writing plays.
As boring as it sounds, I don't feel any different than I did before the 'House of Night.'
