English Essay/Paragraph/Speech on ‘My First Acting Role ’ for Kids and Students for Class 8, 9, 10, Class 12 and Graduation Examination
My First Acting Role
The first time I acted in a ply was when I was in standard three. I was chosen to play the role of a farmer. Rathi, the prettiest girl in class, played the role of the farmer’s wife. So I felt a little elated about my role.
We spent a whole week rehearsing about the play. Learning the lines by heart was tedious. The first rehearsal was a disaster as we fumbled our lines again and again. After half a dozen rehearsals we managed to get things right. It was all very tiring.
The script required me to climb up a mango tree to pluck some mangoes. Obviously, we could not put a mango tree in the classroom. So we improvised by hanging a mango by a string from the ceiling with a ladder below it. Those were the props, placed right in front of the blackboard.
Finally, the day of the play came. I went on stage, rather, in front of the classroom, with my fellow actors and actresses and performed, our parts. Everything went smoothly. We never got stage-fright, thanks to our rehearsals and familiar audience of fifteen children.
Now, a few years later, I cannot remember a single line of the play. The only thing I remember clearly is that I enjoyed eating the mango during the play.
