I joined Stage2 after years of my parents asking me to give it ago. I went straight into a show in my first term and have been addicted to the stage ever since and took part of many company activities. I remember very clearly my first outing with Stage2 to see One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. I went on this outing not knowing anyone but everyone was so welcoming and kind they made me feel very comfortable. I found Stage2 a haven where I could be exactly who I wanted to be without feeling out of place or that I was intruding on anyone. There was one person in particular I will always thank for settling me into Stage2. He gave me the confidence to audition for Teechers and I was so ecstatic when I was cast as Salty -one of the main narrators. Teechers was a whirlwind of experience that taught me so much about acting while also gaining strong friendships. I found it a real pleasure to work with the cast and backstage team and this encouraged me to give something back to Stage2 by joining the Marketing Committee. I compered for the last Cabaret and then the 20th Anniversary Ball. It was an honour to have been asked to compere for the ball as it marks a huge milestone in the company’s history. I have to say it was by no means easy but the satisfaction and pride I felt knowing that I had been chosen to do this alongside a friend made the experience all the more enjoyable. Stage2 has shaped the person I am today improving my self belief and self being so that I will make the most of the opportunities that face me. |
