Digital movie idea

Same train of thought, slightly reoriented. My short movie will be about my experience with theater, the things I have gained from it, and its importance in my life. I will use lots of pictures of past shows that I have either performed in or for which I've done scenic work or costumes.

Title
Show cast photos from YCTIWY, SOTL- Macbeth, VM's - There's something irresistible about the theater. Maybe it's the camaraderie that comes from being in a cast or a crew and having a sense of common purpose.
Maybe it's the make-believe.
Show photos of tech work & rehearsals - Putting together the stage, painting dunes, dressing actors; then scenes from the play on the finished set. - Maybe it's the sense of accomplishment that you have when all of the pieces come together and there actually is a play at the end of it all.
Show photos of hanging out (Bob in throne) - Or maybe it's just the - shall we say, eccentric array of people who gravitate towards the theater. More than likely, it's a combination of them all.
My own experience with theater has been somewhat limited, but I've loved it - every minute. I've had the chance to be an actor and a techie. I've been in the limelight and taken a final bow, but I've also helped put together sets, sewed costumes, and put the finishing touches on painted scenery during the final dress rehearsal.
Show photos ... - Working with theater is a hard job. You learn to live without sleep at times. You stretch yourself farther than you would have thought you could. You exhaust yourself physically, emotionally, and creatively for just two or three performances. But at the end, it's worth it a hundred times over.
