The title of this post is a quote from one of my favorite Shakepeare plays, Twelth Night, or What you will. The play didn't have a name when it was first writen, but it was preformed on the twelth night of December, so the name naturaly came from that. I have preformed in this play twice, once when I was around 9, and the secound time when I was 15.
The first time I was in it, I had four parts, I was a servent in the dukes house, a sailor who got shipped wrecked, a pesent who sold stuff in the street, and last a soldier. It was hard to act all those parts, because it was my first play, and we preformed it in the living room of my friends house. When I did it three years ago I played Maria, who is the handmade to the countess Oliva. She was at the time the hardest part to act, because they guy I had to act in love with, shell I say was a goofball, and we weren't friends, so we played in love on stage, but back stag we didn't talk or even acknowladge the other person even existed.
My favorite thing abou this play was the amount of acting I had in it. The cast was great, and after two preformences I was a lot more comforable with my part and became the best actress in the play.
My greatest learning experince was, learning that your not always going to get the part you want, and you just have to deal with it and try your best, because thats all that really matters. Some people have asked me how I can act and not be nervous, and then when I have to give a talk, or speak infront of a big group of people why I am so nervous, and my reply is, because they are not my words, they are someones eles, and I am mearly quoting them.
Shakespeare was one of the greastest playwrite of all time, and he is one of my greatest hero's, he is a wonderful person who rose against the crowds and became something great.
