Social Commentary?

My theatre teacher always says "Practice doesn't make perfect, Perfect practice makes perfect." So here I am "perfecting" my practice. I have an audition for an advanced Junior theatre class called Productions!
It's always a challenge to find audition material that really suits you and you can connect to.

I have a view on the arts in general... It is a sort of social commentary, but the question I always ask is "Does this material positively challenge aspects of society with constructive critism, or does it dig on the things that I hold dear to my heart?"
Turns out, this is a suitable question for anyone to ask of the art they enjoy. (TV, Movies, plays, books, song lyrics) Basically, if it makes you feel dirty after watching it, it may not be the right thing to spend time on. For instance, I used to love Glee, because of its music, but now that it's become so sexual, I'm losing the desire to watch it at all. 

Sometimes I have to stop and remember that while, yes, tv and movies are peachy keen, theres something bigger than primetime television that deserves my attention more!
I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11).
The God who knows my potential, and has a huge plan!:)
The Center by Matthew West! Completely captures the want to know God's plan!
 Have a great week!

  1. Hi Kaylee! That is one of my favorite verses! Great blog. I used to faithfully keep a blog but now it's just sitting around and kind of lonely. One day I may get back to it. I have a 13 year old daughter who would probably enjoy reading your entries. Keep it up!
