Question
Im in plays but im only in the 8th grade and i live in a small town,but ii always get lead roles.But im not sure if ill get noticed because everyone says our plays are meaning less.
Jareesha, I think I saw this on Yahoo Answers and may have answered it thare. Your plays are not meaningless and will be the foundation of any further acting that you do. No you will not get noticed there by the acting profession, and neither would you at a big high school or in a big town, because the business does not work that way. You don't get discovered,you work your way into the business.
Best wishes and God bless, Doc
