This year and last year I was in the musical at my school. I had a bigger part last year then this year but they tend to do this so that they can see other people in the spotlight. Last year I was also in a play called " A Modest Proposal". I was 3 different characters and the reason why was because I could have different personalities. 1 character was a poor child who sold newspapers, another one of my characters was a young lady mid 20's who was very fashionable and classy, and the last part -my biggest one in this play- was a young present day child who was getting read to by her mother.
