Brenna - Age 14
What I want to be when I grow up: A Broadway Actor.
Why I wanted to enter the contest:
When I heard that DCT was doing a mask making competition, I jumped at the chance to make a mask dedicated to my favorite musical, Falsettos. Falsettos is very near and dear to my heart for many reasons. A couple of months ago, I was feeling very down on myself and was going through numerous anxiety attacks a day about different things that had been happening in my life. Then, one day, I decided to watch Falsettos for the first time. I had been meaning to watch it for some time, so that was as good a time as any. After watching just the first number and seeing amazing actors like Andrew Rannells and Christian Borle just doing what they're best at, my whole persona changed. I was laughing, and for the first time in months, I wasn't thinking about real life. I continued to watch the show every night before going to bed, much to my mother's dismay. After a while, I realized that I hadn't had an anxiety attack in days. So, as soon as I heard I had the chance to share the joy that it brought me, I knew I had to do it!
