Like many others before me, I have fallen in love with theatre. Through it, I have explored life and human emotion. Every show teaches me how to become a better human being. I have always been fascinated with the way actors observe the behaviour of other humans and shape them into complex and gripping characters. This love for theatre made me want to discover the stage for myself. The new friendships, excitement and the butterflies before a performance are addictive. I have always dreamed of going to drama school. In 2012, I remember seeing a Facebook advert by Masquerade School of Theatre Arts about a brand new two-year musical theatre course, and I knew I had to apply.
