Were you in a highschool production? In any capacity?
Tell your story. It’s time to get your just rewards!!
plus, I wanna know 
I was a supporting character in my high school’s productions of The Pajama Game and Bye Bye, Birdie. Both times, my character’s name was Mae.
In the former, I wore an old dress of my mother’s and everyone congratulated me on how tacky it looked, which was perfect for the character. Mom was outraged. “That was my best dress!”
I was one of the Drama Club geeks in high school. We had a pretty loose casting process - if you showed up, you’d be guaranteed a part either in the cast or crew. I played the lead once, the villain a couple of times, directed a one-act play, and had at least a small speaking role in every other production I went out for.
I did one college production and one community theater production a few years later, but by then I was working with people who had actual talent and gave up.
My first time on stage was as a pea in a kindergarten production of Petet Rabbit. The next year, I had the lead in the first grade play. I played a Martian ( I got the role because I had my own space helmet) who asked Earth creatures what they were. I had two lines; everyone else had one.
A couple of years later, I was part of the kids chorus in Damn Yankees. We went on during the second act and spent the time in a car, waiting.
I had small parts in high school in Bye Bye Birdie (as Harvey Johnson) and The Man Who Came to Dinner as Professor Metz.
In College I got involved in theater and had parts in Sheep on the Runway and Winterset. The latter was a deadly serious play and I played a bum, who I never could figure why he was in the play to begin with. I played it as seriously as I could. People told me I was a good comic relief.
Summers I took part in a group of college kids called “Youth on Stage.” We did The Music Man (Marcellus, who told Harold Hill everything he needed to know), South Pacific (Stewpot -.I had to buy my first pair of jeans - always hated them), and Anything Goes (Moon Martin).
I’m especially proud of the latter, since I hadn’t seen any version and played him in a way that was not done before. Most times, the role is played to be meek; I was blustery.
At the auditions, I wanted that role from looking at the script. They didn’t ask me to read it, though. But at every audition, the director always ends it by asking if anyone wants to read and hadn’t. I said I wanted to read Moon Martin. The director said she should have thought of me in the first place, and I got the part.
The play became the basis for a novel Trying Hard to Hear You by the director, Sandra Scoppettone. The characters were closely based on the people in the play.
The book became a minor YA classic because it was one of the first to portray gay characters.sympathetically. it actually outed the people, since it was easy to figure out who she was talking about.
