Have you ever done theaters?

When in High school, I was a part of a play done by our school for our annual day function. It was the last year of school and my first time exposure to any acting. I was good at sports and debate. I had been a part of those events, but it was the first time that my English teacher selected me for this protagonist role. I was very nervous and conscious at the beginning. But slowly with practice, I got better each day. The play was well received by everyone and I got lots of compliments. I felt confident.
Later, I joined the theater group of my college and participated in a few plays including the street play. I acted as well as wrote scripts, dialogues and songs..I enjoyed it a lot.

No, I have not done it. I don't have a good acting skills. Also, I was nervous to appear on the stage. I never could get that fear out of myself when I was in school. I always wanted to do theatre at least in school and college.

I have stage fright too. Well, I don't know if one can call that a stage fright. I was active in debates and got many prizes there. And now in my profession, I keep conducting workshops for teachers, parents and even corporates. But still after years of practice, I still feel nervousness and butterflies in stomach. I can hear my heart pounding.But after a minute, I get comfortable and I really deliver well. I always get compliments. I try making it interactive with the audience. A little chit chat helps me feel comfortable.

During my school days, and even in church, i acted in a few dramas but that was pretty much it, i never officially joined any theater group.

I completely relate with what you mentioned. It is never really easy to get away with that but with time you can manage it better. Theater is very challenging but when you put your heart to it, it can be very rewarding.
