Side benefits of the stage

Every summer I go with my sister to a summer sleep away camp.  They have a lot of different activities to do, including theater acting.  I like to play sports and go swimming a lot.  I also really like photography, making use of the lab to develop and print film.

Last summer was a bit different than usual.  I was asked to be in a play.  I'd never been in one before, so I didn't know what to expect.  But it worked out pretty well.  I had fun, got noticed in a positive way, and managed to get a few girls interested in me.  Each summer there are about seven productions, one per week with two in the final week.  I ended up in three productions.

This summer the theater director made a point of getting me involved early.  I guess I was good enough last year and a few roles this summer were very well suited to me.  The cool thing was that some productions had certain wardrobe needs.  You guessed it.  Tights.  I wasn't fortunate enough to have a role that required wearing them, yet, but there was one role where a pair of thick brown tights was needed.  A boy just a few years younger than me got the role.  His name is Evan.  I was kind of envious of him, yet, I was in a production with a role that was much better.  When Evan wore his costume for the play, I noticed that the tights were a bit too long for him.  Evan was shorter than me, yet a bit fuller.  So, I figured that those tights he was wearing should fit me.  If I could manage to get a hold of them.  ;-)
