Theatre has given me the opportunity to open myself up and make friends. It’s given me an outlet for my artistic abilities. It’s given me a family, a place to feel comfortable, and a place where I feel safe expressing myself. Theatre has introduced me to people with similar interests that I can easily relate to. Through out the years that I’ve worked in theatre, my self confidence has grown.
