One of my passions other than teaching, writing, and drawing
is DRAMA!
My definition of drama is adults getting to “play pretend”. It sound so much more grown up that way, but
when you think about it, it is the exact same thing.
And some lucky people get to do this for a living! That has
to be so much fun. One day your one
person, the next you are someone else.
Unfortunately, some
of those people get so good at acting that it spills into their home life. They have to constantly be “putting on a show”. Even that would be ok if it weren’t an episode
of “What NOT to do”.
I do understand that living in a fish bowl can be very
difficult, but aren’t we all in fish bowls?
I mean the size, shape and audience may be different but they are fish
bowls nonetheless. “I am an island”, you
say. Well, whether you believe it or not somebody somewhere is watching. No, you don’t have to be perfect and no, you
can’t live your life always worried about what other people think. However, keep in mind that you are an
example. You get to decide what kind of
example you are.
Be careful around “pot-stirrers”. You know who I am talking about. Some people
LOVE to make an OCEAN out of a single drop of rain! As much as I love the acting drama, the other
drama is a bit much! Some adults act as if they are still in grade
school! Find something else to talk about.
Our small town even has its own acting group. It is called C.A.S.T.
which stands for Callahan Area Show Theatre.
A friend of mine and I went to their recent dinner theatre entitled “Murder
in the Air”. The cast members seemed to have a great time
together. The audience got to
participate in the “Whodunit?” We were
served salad and spaghetti with a dessert of cookies or lemon pound cake. I think our writing group should volunteer
some pieces for the group to act out. I
also think some of our members would make great actors!
.
So my challenge to you, my fellow writers is to write a skit
or any drama script.
Have a wonderful week and remember…All of the world is a
stage, so put on a good show!
