Most of my acting experience comes from musicals and I have played a number of lead & cameo roles:
* Polly - the Boyfriend
* Geraldine - Free as air
* Josephine - Pirates of Penzance
* Poopsie - Pajama game
* Lindy-Lou - Best whorehouse in Texas
All of these have been non-paid productions, however when it comes to comic timing and reading an audience, there's not much difference in the audience of the two.
