Being a director was a great
experience for me. Not only did I meet new people, but I also learned a lot
about myself.
Before directing “Oscar and the
Lady in Pink,” I had passed my cast members Rachel and Kelvin in the halls many
times without conversation because were in different grades and I thought we
wouldn’t be able to connect. Now I see that I actually do have a lot in common
with the two. We all share a love for acting, voicing our opinions, and solving
creative problems. If I hadn’t directed this play I wouldn’t have met these
amazing people, who I can now call friends--or even my family.
While directing this play I also
learned a lot about myself. I learned that I should engage in more activities
that I wouldn’t usually do, because I really enjoyed being a director. I got to
see something that I created come to life and that made me feel really proud.
Another thing that I learned is that the person in charge is not the only
person who can contribute ideas. During this process Rachel and Kelvin had
great ideas that were used, and the play wouldn’t have been such a success had
they not voiced these suggestions.
I look forward to being a director again. I can’t wait to meet more new people, work together with others to see a project through from beginning to end, and hopefully learn more about myself in the process.
