When I was younger, I was part of a homeschool group and we did a musical or play every year. Everyone was in it, but you auditioned for the part you wanted, and sometimes they'd adjust the part for you. I was in a few musicals, then some plays a little later. But I ADORE musicals and being in musicals...there's just something about them that's exciting and more dramatic than a normal play. I wish I was a better singer Then I could have tried out for some in college. I tried out for a play and ALMOST got in...but there were a ton of people also looking at my part who got called back too. I miss acting!
The musicals the homeschool group did were when i was on the younger side--I was 10 when we did Sound of Music...then Oliver...I was a little older for Cinderella and they took the singing out for my part, so it was perfect for me! That was my favorite year.

At our old church they used to do musicals, everyone was allowed to be in them, but you had to try out to get specific parts (rather than just be singing in the chorus) I was in several and I had lots of fun! I even got the leading role in one of them. I remember we did the story of Esther, The Christmas story, Something based on the love of money is the root of all evil, (can't remember the name) and a few others. I miss those musicals now, but the church got a different childrens director (and pastor, and basically all new staff, it kind of went down hill so we left) and I was talking to somebody that goes there recently, and she said they don't really do musicals/plays anymore Acting if fun though!

I do classes and plays with a place called the Christian Youth Theater(CYT for short) They do truly amazing plays one of wich was Chitty, Chitty, Bang, Bang(It was amazing how they put it on stage.) The CYT in my area has put on shows for 10 years.(Charlie Brown being the first south-side show) I really love acting and singing.

I have been a a few musicals. I had to audition for the part I wished to portray. Actually, this fall I will be in another musical. So, I am really excited about that. I also might audition for a play in January.

I was in a church musical a few years ago, but I was just in the choir so I didn't have to audition. It was for Vacation Bible School that year and I was one of the volunteers, so I just asked the guy who was directing the musical, "hey, can I be the choir?" And he said sure.

I have auditioned at least four times at our community theaters but they never let me in. Fortunately our church has an ever expanding drama group and we've done things like A Christmas Carol, The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, It's a Wonderful Life, Sherlock Holmes and last Christmas we did the AIO episode Unto Us a Child is Born.

The AIO play hasn't been uploaded yet, I'll work on that.

Though we did send a copy to Focus on the Family, I believe that was part of the deal with them to get the rights to perform the script.
