So here's the why. Why a theatre blog? Why a blog so focused on the ways of the thespian community in adverse to activities that have a stronger connotation with young females of my generation and my social standing? Well, I've never been an "in the box" thinker and theatre is a positive gateway for such a thinking style.
My ninth grade iB prep geometry teacher would read us a success book and we would put aside all studies for the day to read a chapter here and a chapter there. The idea of career choice was always brought up throughout the text and a point was put into our minds that I grasped desperately which is, you have to spend thirty five or more years with this decision, do what you love. I love theatre, I love escapism and living on carpe diem standards. I'm pursuing a career in theatre and a side career in sexology because the day will come when I reflect on my life and choices, I don't want to reflect from a cubicle. So there is the why, I have one life, I plan on doing it with a heart full of love and a fist full of opportunity. Sure, girls my age are focused on materials, puppies (which I love), boys, looking good, getting good grades, impressing the people of our choosing, and in the social pressures of the world, possibly just possibly, world events but I will back my decision to focus on the things I love, a dark stage and a terrible costume.
And if the point wasn't yet grasped, this blog is the how to express my why.
