Why i'm an actor (unfinished?)

I was so angry with her. I walked faster out of the theater as if I was transporting a deadly disgusting convict by leash. I felt that walking at a faster pace as if she was restraint would prove my point. I turned to sneer at her progress. She still staggered along with her own sets of feelings.

My poor mother was frustrated and confused with my reaction. Not anticipating this outing to end with her own son being disappointed in her actions. I've never been as ungrateful with her as I had been that night. I must have been a monster that night. A dirty nasty snooty monster who cared about nothing but its own benefit and entertainment. The night wasn't a total failure lessons were learned and truths discovered.

It began a couple of weeks before this said incident. I was fifteen and just discovering music arts and...well boys I had just been realizing theater had to be a major part of my life, and a family friend had received tickets for each performing arts show Williams College had to offer for the summer.

I had just went to one of my favorite plays "Lucy and the conquest" starring Bernard White the older but still oddly attractive actor from the "Matrix Series". The "stick-to-yo-hispanic-roots-ish" theme of the play really won me over. Also meeting the absolutely amazing cast backstage was another perk of seeing the play with a Williams college employee. I felt like an apprentice paparazzi ready to ask any cliche question
"How do you prepare for such a role?"
"What was the most challenging part of this role?"
"Wanna make out?

Well of course I wouldn’t ask the last question to the cast...well expect for maybe one. There was an attractive guy who appeared in only tight pleather shorts half way through the play.

Then came the race relation orientated one act "Panorama". An amazing two short act play which of course is where my mom’s cell phone has to ring during the second act. So yes I was indeed angry with her and I didn’t forgive her for two whole days. But well I guess you can say why it’s a pivotal moment in my life yeah…….I love theater GO SOX!
