Mah high school actin' debut

SO. I got cast in the school play! It's Arthur Miller's Playing For Time, about women in a concentration camp who sing/form an orchestra to entertain their captors and keep from being sent to the gas chambers. I play Paulette, one of the orchestra women (of course).

I just got the full script today and I read it through and highlighted my lines for the read-through on Monday... it's intense. Like, I started to tear up a little at times and it's just... it's disturbing. I feel both apprehensive and... honored, I guess?, that I'll be a part of putting on material this deep.
