[Perform-Talk] I Found A Good Community Theater In My Area

[Cierra Theriot]

Hey!! I am so excited to hear this!!! Look at you go!!! You did not give up, and you’re gonna keep on going! I’m so proud of you! And yes, you might need some help with your stage make up at first, but it is doable because I can do my stage make up. And it does take a lot of practice. But if it’s very detailed For your character,then, yes, the theater might have people to do your make up because that’s what my theater does sometimes. But once again, I am so proud of you! You’re not letting barriers hinder you. You’re pushing past them! That’s how you do it! I love this!
