A high-school student found peace when the annual spring musical
set the stage for a story she hadn't anticipated.
Performing and singing in musicals are two of my favorite things to do. One reason that I love musicals so much is that they give me an opportunity to share with others my God-given talents.
All through grade school, I watched the musical productions at our high school with the hope of some day being the lead. During the first two years of high school, I was the understudy for the lead roles. In my junior year, when auditions came around for our spring musical, "Annie Get Your Gun," I practiced the audition material until I felt fully prepared. When the cast list was posted, I was thrilled to find that the directors had cast me in the lead role of Annie.
