This is great advice! I’ve worked with many theatre and film groups, and the key elements everyone looks for is kindness and respect!

Tomarrow we have our first preformance and we have to go in and get ready at 5:30 and we get out of school at 3:05 so were all just going to hang out and play games at or near the school until it's time to get ready itll be so fun
