A friend of mine, Sam, runs an amateur drama group. They put on three or four plays a year in a small local theatre. Sam directs all of them, sometimes takes a leading role and even writes some of the plays they perform as well. I don't do much acting myself, but I once played a servant in a comedy. Most of the time I help with costume and stage design, but sometimes I have a small role in one of the plays. We have a lot of fun.
