How Did I get involved in the theater business?

When I was a kid I love to make believe. I imagine myself as a hero flying through the sky with a red cape flowing through the breeze trying to save the day. I always love to make believe that I'm somewhere else on this earth. I got bitten by the acting bug when I entered Jr. High in the year of 1996. Back then acting is just a hobby. I never thought that acting can be a career choice for me, because I need the academics and having an experience on stage before I make that choice. When I entered the Drama Club on my very first play "Don't Rock the Boat", that magical moment arrived. I continued with my imagination both in the Drama club and the Talent Shows until I moved into Rhode Island in 1998. When I entered Toll Gate in late 1998 into 1999, I decided to rekindled my acting magic in high school. I entered the Drama club one last time on my very first musical "Once Upon A Mattress." I had an excellent part of playing the Court Jester. He had his own solo song and sung with both the king and the minstrel. After the production they wanted me to work behind the scenes or become an extra. My moment arrived to pursue other acting opportunities so I quit the Drama club. I got involved in the talent shows, poetry slams and arts Integration festivals. I even performed at AS220 on my senior field trip. Upon leaving high school, I entered college to continue my education in the drama business. I also found out that I can continue acting in college so, I did my very first college play called "The Member of the Wedding." Finally someone has discovered my Talent. His name is Richard Morra. He went to the same high school as i did when I was a baby. He took me into the Artist's Exchange since it's development in 2004. He started to teach me acting can be important for everyone. The plays are carefully chosen by each people's abilities. They turned out successful. As it turns out those plays are just a test to my abilities as an actor. So I decided to get a part time job in the theater business. He landed on a part time job with an professional traveling theater called Kaleidoscope Theater in 2005. My very first play with Kaleidoscope is on inclusion with a kid who is born with Down Syndrome into special schools. That play is extremely important to school students who are different and wanted to be accepted as humans. Their fairy tale plays are wonderful to the child audience. In the Frog Prince, I played an squire who falls in love with the princess's cousin. In Jack and the Beanstalk I played an magician who can do magic tricks for children. In Sleeping Beauty I played an brave squire who wanted to become an brave knight under the teachings of Stephen. He finally became an knight at the end. That's how I got involved in the theater business, from an child actor to an musical theater performer of today. I'm sure that someday their will be other people that are interested in theater, that door will be opened for them as their career choice.
