Why I Enjoy Drama

What other hobby allows one to become someone else, to get under the skin of a personality quite different from your own and in doing so, entertain others?  Over the years I have played a cat, an old man (despite then being a youngish woman), a psychopath, a woman of 102 years and a murderer, quite apart from the umpteen maids, peasants and upper class women along the way.

There is also the team work, as those people dealing with props, prompts, set building, booking of premises, ordering of scripts, paying of bills, etc are just as essential to the whole as the actors and directors. The members of Woodlands Drama Group like to feel that the finished product transports those involved into another scenario, another world, and afford the opportunity to
invite audiences to enter that world and be convinced.

One warning though, once hooked, there’s no cure . . . .
