Welcome to show business. Well...the very first stages of it. Your first lesson was playing a tree, which you had nailed and even your performance tutor said it was the very best tree impression he had ever seen. You've had your training in vocals, choreography and every acting technique you can think of. You have been accumulating stage time since you were a kid and they might as well start shining you a star on Hollywood Boulevard now because you just know that you were always destined to be a big star. On your journey to fame, life will not always be easy. You have to watch your image, pick only the best parts to play (or whatever is offered to you to be honest), travelling long distances to auditions and keeping up-to-date with who's on the one's-to-watch list because you should always be aware of who the current competition is. You are so dedicated to your art; first through the stage door and last out the green room. You know deep down that your 'big break' is just around the corner when a talent scout is just bound to come see one of your shows at the local theatre, hurry you into a limo and whisk you away to the West End... Until it's time to start decorating your brand new dressing room or hiring your own entourage, there are a few obstacles in the way that you will have to elegantly leap over...
