ACTF- How did I get here?

Dearest Friends,
This week I have had the the grand opportunity to enter into a new world or culture and insanity. This place is what I like to call theater world. You see, every year the constituents of theater world decided to hold a festival, appropriately named The American College Theater Festival. People from around the Western United States gather together on the campus of a selected university to perform, observe and instruct about theater. It is a wonderful conference/gathering. For some odd reason or another I was selected by BYU to attend this event and participate in the Irene Ryan Acting Competition, along with 17 other BYU students. Seeing how this trip was all expenses paid and that Southern California is a lot nicer than Provo in February, I decided to enter into theater world. By doing so I have put myself in a very interesting environment of people and practices that are very foreign to me. It will be a "fish out of water," experience if you will. Due to this very unique situation, I have felt it necessary that I document my adventures on a daily basis, and let everyone else know what this theater world is all about. I hope you will find my adventures enjoyable and if the content permits, humorous. Do enjoy!
