Ever since I was little, I have dreamed of being an actor. And that dream is slowly but surely coming true! Since this is my first role, I thought it would be easy because I love to act. But it wasn’t as easy as I thought – it got harder and harder until I learned my lines. Now, I am very excited for all of the upcoming performances. I didn’t expect to get the role of Scout in “To Kill a Mockingbird” – – in fact, I didn’t know who she was until I read the book. The character is unlike me in a couple of ways: she wears overalls, for one thing; I wear shorts. And she’s really brave (I’m not saying that I’m not brave. . . just not that brave). I have learned so much working with all of my fellow actors, have made some new friends, and have had a lot of fun. I hope you enjoy the play!
