Cast Bonding
So I just started a new theater camp, and my fellow cast members seem like so much fun! I really want to hang out with them, but I dont know how to approach them. I kinda just watch them have fun and laugh with them... but I want to be included, you know? Does anyone have any good advice of how to bond with them cause I have to say I'm pretty funny, and I think they would enjoy my company, but Im just a tad bit shy. btw, we are all in high school. Thanks!

Maybe give some free advice about: Theater?
The best approach is the same in any new setting. Be yourself!
Try approaching someone who you think you would like to get to know and ask them for information or assistance. Almost everyone likes to be helpful and it will help break the ice. If you can't think of anything you need help with then try to be helpful to someone else (anyone who looks left out is a good starter). Alternately see if there is somewhere to socialize and invite someone to join you. I don't recommend breaking into a large group as a starting point as you may find yourself overlooked by the sheer numbers.

Hey well I can think of one thing you all have in common. You all like theater so just walk over and talk to them. Just introduce yourself. If their talking about something, think of something you know to add to the convo. Maybe you can ask them something about themselves. Don't be shy and just sit there, b/c you may be really missing out on getting to know them as friends. You can't recycle time, once its gone its gone, so don't waste it just go talk to them. Have confidence, b/c that will help you overcome any kind of shyness. I promise.

Hey! Really the most straightforward advice I can give to you is to break out of your shell and just strike up a conversation with them about, in all honesty, anything. Like if you're all just sitting there, make a comment about something, like something funny that happened to you that morning or something. Really, anything works, as long as you communicate with them. There isn't some special potion that is going to give you confidence, you just have to know that you want to bond with these people, and DO IT! =]
