I just returned from a theatre production of Little Women, the classic written by Louisa M. Alcott. It was staged by a group of amateur actors (amateur in terms of doing it for free, not amateurish) from The Stage Club. It was a well done production, full of funny moments and good acting. The script basically took the highlights of the book and strung it together, which was great, because the book is long and putting everything in it would have been too much to handle in a theatre performance.

Watching the production made me yearn to get back into acting. I did it for a few years then I stopped because of growing school committments, but I’ve always loved the thrill of being someone else for a moment, performing in front of a crowd and just working together as a team to put up an amazing performance.

The Stage Club is asking for volunteers for performers and backstage work. And I’m thinking that I just might sign up. Force myself to get off my butt and stop being lazy, and to go out and enjoy life. I’m young and single, and should be exploring different areas of my interests and life now. Let’s hope I’ll have the guts to go through with it tomorrow, after I’ve had a night’s sleep.
