World theatre day

Today is world theatre day, a day I did not know existed until this year but hey.

The theatre has been part of my life in one way or another since before I can remember. I have not only seen shows but have been part of many over the years too, my first appearance at the tender age of 4. I have always loved all types of shows including pantomimes, plays and of course musicals. I love the feeling of falling into a show and being immersed in the story. 

Going back to performing, I have mostly been in amateur Pantomimes. Starting at 4 years old in the chorus and other small parts going to bigger roles and slowly growing to play the main role in shows such as Cinderella and Pocahontas. I have also done a play and have been part of a college course for BTEC in performing arts. 

I haven't been in anything for many years but would love to again one day. I love being able to play someone else, to bring theatre alive and to just have fun. 

I have also seen many shows, some more than others. I have mainly seen musicals and pantomimes but have recently seen my first play which was the famous murder mystery The Mousetrap.

In more recent years my theatre trips have gotten a lot more frequent and I officially have a theatre buddy in my eldest daughter Lilly, she is also a big fan and I am loving having our girly days seeing shows and making memories. 

Are you into the theatre and if so what is your favourite show you have seen?
