Brianne Good, 16, is a home-schooled high school junior, who spends much of her spare time involved in theater activities. She is most involved at DreamWrights Youth and Family Theatre, but she has done some touring shows with York Little Theatre.
Her favorite thing to do is act. In 10 years, she has been in 24 plays. One of the main reasons she enjoys the theater is because she gets to be with people.
"I enjoy interacting with people who are all working for one common goal," she said.
The place she likes the most in the theater is the green room because, "I get to spend time with my friends there relaxing before a show."
But Brianne isn't just an actor; she does just about everything that needs to be done at the theater, from her favorite crew position (lights) to being production stage manager to being on the Membership Volunteer and Special events committee.
"(On the MVS committee) I calculate all the volunteer hours for the organization. We compile information on teens, and what teens want. We schedule all events at DreamWrights that aren't shows."
She is also one of the teen representatives on the DreamWrights board. They plan teen special events such as the teen movie nights.
"I try to keep the interest of all members in mind when bringing ideas to the board," she said. "I enjoy it because I get to help DreamWrights try to continue to grow as an organization. "
Brianne has taught numerous DreamWrights Creativity Camps, which are theater camps for young children.
"I enjoy working with kids, and I think it's important for kids to learn about theater," she said. "I (continue to teach the camps because I) want to be a teacher when I finish college, and I think it's good practice and a very important program."
She said every school year, she spends about 300 hours at the theater, even though she doesn't see herself pursuing acting in the future.
"While I do enjoy theater, I don't enjoy it enough to do it as my career," she said. When asked about who should get involved in theater, she promptly answered, "Everyone."
