I’d always wanted to do this, and several years ago I found out that there was an audition for “Fiddler on the Roof,” and on a whim, I decided to go and try out. I ended up with a lead role (Tzeitel), and had the BEST time! It was so much fun, and I hope that I’ll have another opportunity to do something like this again. When my son was small, I really didn’t have the time, but now I could probably manage it. I do sing regularly with a symphony chorus, but I’d love to do more acting, too. Since I’m pretty good at it, if I do say so myself. ;)
My advice to anyone who wants to do this is to GO FOR IT! That’s what I did, and I’m really glad that I did. The worst that can happen is you won’t get a part – but chances are that you WILL, and you’ll never know if you don’t try. :)
