You Dont Even Know

Have you ever gotten the feeling that no matter how hard you try, you will never be recognized? Welcome to my life in theater. For the past 3 years, I have basically devoted all of my time to work on over 6 plays (not just performing, but with crew and such), which would usually result in some appreciation for my hard work. Not the case. In fact, this year our school is putting on West Side Story as our all-school play. I tried out thinking that even if I didn't get a lead role, I would have a name or a supporting role, at least. Once again, not the case. Ensemble. Freaking ensemble. I have been stuck in that role for as long as I can remember and I'm sick of it. They gave freshmen and people who had never been in a single play a bigger role than me. Would that not offend you? So after 3 years of hard work and dedication (not to mention biting my tongue during the times when myself and the entire cast is being disrespected by the staff), I get snubbed. No, not even snubbed. More like smacked in the face. So here's to you, BHS theater department. Thanks.
