Not since high school. But I worked backstage on a few productions when I was dating the director.

Yes, back in elementary school, high school and in an acting group while taking classes. Two different coaches told me I was probably too "typical looking" to ever make a career of it. I'm still not sure what that means, but I gave up on stage acting after showing up to an off-off-broadway audition and finding over 300 other females there ~ 20o of whom looked so much like me they could have been my sisters!

I was the old lady in the Gingerbread Man in first grade. I was a Navajo Indian in fifth grade. In college I was the head of the makeup department of the Pinion Players - the drama group. That's about as close as I have ever gotten. "LIfe is but a walking shadow... A poor player who struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more..." yadda yadda yadda

I was in loads of plays at school, but not since then, no. The first play I was ever in was Whinnie the Pooh. I was one of the Bees. I remember having to pull an angry bee face, because he had stollen our honey! I was 5 years old, and rather bemused by the whole thing I think. The most recent was Twelth Night (I can't remember who I was in that though.) That was when I was 15.

I've done some work with pro wrestling. Maybe not what a lot of people would consider a play but it is live acting with an audience.
Alias Irrelevante
Yep, I went to a school of the arts, but my prized moment was as Aunty Em in The Wizard of Oz.

I played a character role in a high school farce and a secondary role in a college drama. I wrote and starred in a 4th grade bicenntenial play about Benedict Arnold. I've done lots of dramatic readings. All of this really more about having a well-rounded education than any aspirations of fame.

In the 6th grade. It was a celebration of the bicentennial. I was one of the narrators. Kim Groholske beat me out for the part of Molly Pitcher.

the only thing close to play that i have been in would be the christmas special held at school when i was in the 2nd grade. the only thing i really remember is that we sang "teddy bear picnic" along with some other songs. funny how for some reason i love that song but i cant remember the words at all. i guess its just an important moment in my life.

No. Growing up the only available outlets were school productions and local theatre groups. Nothing they ever did captured my imagination. I quite fancy starring in an independent film, though - something along the lines of Requiem For A Dream.

Yep. I was an extra in The Littlest Christmas tree, several characters in skits my TAG program put on, an extra in our middle school musical, and an extra in Romeo & Juliet. That's all I can think of, but there were probably others.

No, but I have directed plays for children. Does that count?

No. I prefer to do the scenes behind the play, stage design, projected images, etc.
