Question I want to act. I've wanted it all my life, but there are not really any chances for me to go out for a part. I live in Minnesota, and not a whole heck of a lot happens here. I really super want to go to an acting school, but I don't know where I can go to do that. I want to act because it's something I enjoy, but I have no idea what to do to make my dream a reality.
Answer Hi Mara, It is a familiar story. Why are there not any plays for you to audition for? Are there not plays at school? What about at church or in the community? I am going to have to know what city you live in and how far it is to a major city? I have to know how old you are? the main thing you have to do is to act at every opportunity and with the info I have asked for you I can try to help you. Doc
