Who loves theater like me?

Let’s speak?

Are you love, standing in front of the mirror, curling, read a monologue?I was.It was forty years ago.
I loved my childhood.
My childhood passed everything in the theater.
We with my girlfriend have thought up and have made school theater.
It lasted for some years and after graduation closed.
I was playing there.

 

After forty years again I am in theater.I talk,then did not want play again.I saw many people,who still artist.I am artist,but last year I like not change and do not play like artist, and be myself and share my wisdom.
