I'm 23 and literally haven't done any real theater. Used to be in ensembles during summer camp bc i didn't gaf at the time but im considering it as an adult now. there are two auditions in my town next week for different groups and I think I wanna try but I'm super nervous. I need to prepare a monologue for one of them?

My 11yo does that. Maybe not the same, but what I notice is that they're super serious. It's not just "a fun time with friends" it's actually hard work with deadlines and pressure, especially during the last weeks of rehearsal. In those last weeks, all parents have to help out. If you don't you'll get angry letters (not actually, but everyone does pitch in)

She loves it though and even blows off birthday parties because Friday night is theater night

Also.. my colleague 's girlfriend (probably around 23 yo) is starting her own theatre school. That shows you how much passion these people have. It's definitely worth. Checking it out. If you enjoy, you'll properly enjoy it.
