Unfair chance.
I absolutely love to act. whenever we'd do something that needed acting, i'd always be first to raise my hand, and sometimes i'd fool around with it too for jokes and stuff. Well, I dont really have much experience, and I'm 13 years old. (and a girl.) My school only had chorus (which I did) till our intermediate school, 5th and 6th grade, which had drama club. i tryed out for drama club, and it had been my dream, ever since i saw the 2 plays my sister's grades perfomed when i was little to get into it. and for those two years in that school, i didnt even get a part! only chorus! now, maybe i could have stayed to learn some acting skills from some of the kids who were there or something.. but i was just so mad that i wasnt even given a chance. i mean, i've been told that i'm a really good singer, and i think im a really good one too, and i'd just like to have a shot at it. anyway, now im in the 7th grade and i finally got a part in our broadway production "oliver!" and im like.. a workhouse kid & part of fagin's gang or something. its not the biggest part ever, like nancy or something, but im okay with that. who knows, maybe when im older and if i get to become like some bigshot actress, i could like totally rub it in their faces. so.. anyway, how can i get more involved with like.. theater? also my cousin whos like 7 years old. she is such a character! like all our relatives think she should have been on that bill cosby show called "kids say the darnest things" because shes just hilarious and has a true kiddy heart. shes also a good actress and maybe if we could find a place (i live in nj) for her to like.. learn acting from, that would be great for her, especially since shes so young.
thanks for the help btw!

Maybe give some free advice about: Theater?
there's no skill in being a single character in a show. really. you always have the same style of acting in the show. as a chorus member or an ensemble character you have to remain flexible to be able to play a number of different characters to the same extent as everyone else who has a single character. you also remain open to playing a larger character if someone drops out of the show. you're also a guide to younger kids in the show and to less experienced kids who maybe can't handle all the singing or dancing.
in other words, suck it up. being "just a chorus member" is still awesome. I've never been more than an ensemble character, but I've always done it as best as possible and been an inspiration to the younger ones in the show and a leader to my section of the chorus (1st chair alto 1 represent!). maybe one day I'll have a single character to play, but I certainly hope not.
