My two boys have each done a play. They've done school plays as well, but one of them did a local production of 'Waiting For Godot,' and he played the boy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I did some school plays in elementary school, but that was it.
Play is the work of childhood.
I think it goes without saying that young would-be playwrights in developmental workshops should be so lucky as to write plays as good as 'Waiting for Godot,' 'Uncle Vanya' or 'King Lear,' none of which would have existed without a decent plot.
'Waiting for Godot,' when it first came out in 1950, was a very different sort of play to the plays that were in the West End at that time in London, because most of those plays were what we call drawing-room comedies.
Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.
At school there was no acting to be had other than school plays which I did now and again.
I was in a lot of school plays, and it became the thing I did.
I did some plays in high school which I had a good time doing.
A good place to start initially would be school plays.
The school plays needed kids that were big and bold and weren't afraid to be on stage, and I fit that bill, so I was expected to do it. And then I went to college, and the exact same thing happened.
