• It's really different when you have an audience in the house when you are performing.  After rehearsing for a couple of months, having an audience is a nice change.  I liken it to the playoffs, where the bar is raised higher, although the only people that the cast (my team) is competing against is ourselves.  The better we do, the more the audience enjoys.  If all goes well, then everyone is happy.  I have fun doing the whole theatre thing, but it's a bonus that I have performed in shows that have a deeper meaning to them.  There was always something really important to be learned from them, or some little-known piece of knowledge.  I learn a lot too while going through the rehearsals and the research necessary to get a deeper understanding of the piece.

  
  

  I've heard people use the phrase life-long student.  Everyone is a lfie-long student whether they realize it or not.  We learn more and more every day.  Our experiences teach us lessons all the time.  I take my role as a life-long learner very seriously and actively try to learn more and more.  It keeps me content, and gives me a purpose.
