The Hurrah Players

Finding a new home!

A few weeks before school started, I found out I couldn't go to my dance studio any longer. I was crushed because I didn't think I would ever be able to dance again. The next day, my mom was already looking up other options for me to perform. Then I thought about Taylor Drumwright. She goes to my school and I remember that she had been the leading role in "Annie". I learned of the Hurrah Players and immediately got an application form. I finally found a place to dance, and even better, I could sing and act too!! Musical Theatre was my first class and I was so happy with it. People were so nice to me. Hugh, Cathy and Lisa treated me so well and I had so much fun! "Holidays In Virginia" was my first show and it was a BIG step for me. My first time singing and dancing on stage and I was scared. Right away everyone confronted me and told me not to worry and that I would be GREAT! They were right! I gained such confidence and had such a fun time that I couldn't wait for the next show! Hurrah has given me confidence and experience that I would not have gotten at a dance only studio. Now I have friends, great teachers and a passion for performing, and skills I didn't even know I had. Without Hurrah in my life, I am not sure what I would be doing! I have them to thank for everything. Now that I am in my third showm I cannot wait for more!
