[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We did imagination Stage for years and I kind of regret it. The school year classes and short camps on specific skills are great, but the performance camps are looking for a kind of confident, extroverted kid, and if you're not that kind of kid you aren't going to get noticed by the director no matter how many camps you do or how hard you try. And they're really expensive.[/quote]

I don't necessarily view this as a bad thing. Kids who are talented and confident will get lead roles over nervous, inhibited kids. The ensemble is a great place for those more nervous or inhibited kids to gain confidence! As a kid, I did theater and was a hard worker, but was just not that talented or confident. Being in the ensemble over and over again did sting, but I still loved doing it and wouldn't have given it up. By high school, I knew I wasn't as talented as the kids who got lead roles and that was okay with me - I still loved doing it and gained a lot from it (including gaining confidence). [/quote]
