Many, many years ago I wrote a script for a stage play. It's certainly nothing that I consider "good" or anything, but looking back it was a decent first attempt, I guess. Obviously, it went nowhere. I do a lot of things and then tuck them away, embarrassed and never show anyone. But theatre is something that really interests me. It's always been a secret little fantasy of mine to be involved in the production of a play in some capacity. Not as a "star" or anything - God no. The only "acting" experience I ever had was when I played Little Miss Muffet on stage in elementary school once. And yes, it was a "speaking part" with dialogue I had to memorize & deliver. :) (Yeah. I totally rocked that "tuffet"!) It's on my "bucket list" to get involved in theatre someday in some small way... like working on creating/painting the sets, or maybe as a non-speaking extra in the background. And of course, writing a short play that actually got performed would be a dream come true! (Naturally I'm thinking like on a small, local indie scale -- I don't have unreasonable expectations!)
I think maybe after I wrap up my current little "pet projects", I will turn my attention to this. I've kind of caught the writing "bug" lately, so I want to try my hand at writing another little script or two.

I never knew you had such an interest in theatre! That's really cool. I spent most of my younger years (from the age of 16 to 21) heavily involved in theatre. Loved it. And like yourself, I have also tried to write scripts, but I do find it is never easy. I have started so many projects and never finished them. I can, however, easily see myself returning to the theatre. Maybe someday. :)
