Marc's Story

My passion is theater.

When I was young, I loved watching cartoon movies about action. In fact, the action parts were the only thing I watched. I loved that they were filled with explosions and fighting. After watching them every weekend, I would pretend as if I was the hero, my father or cousins would be the villains, and I would enjoy making my own story line. At my middle school, there were no acting classes, so I never had any chance to explore my passion for theater. Once I got to high school, I found out there was a theater class. From then on I wanted to discover as much as I could about theater, and set a goal of getting better in it and having as much fun as possible.

By attending ACTeen August Conservatory this summer, I will discover my passions even more than I have already. This opportunity offers professional help from teachers who specialize in acting. This will no doubt help me become a better actor and person overall. It would also help me to meet others with the same or similar ambitions. I can learn with them and make friends, doing this will not only help me with social skills but also acting because I will learn new techniques to make me become a more passionate actor.

A Note from Ms. DeChant, Marc's Teacher

When Marc becomes passionate about something, he commits to it to an impressive degree. In his 9th grade year, Marc was both excited and proud to audition for his first play. Once he got the part and attended a few rehearsals, he was changed forever. As his academic advisor, I get to spend a lot of time with him and I deeply respect the dedication he has demonstrated. He gives his all in each of his performances and his ability to put fear aside combined with careful preparation leads to steal-the-show performances that parents, teachers and even students have come to look forward to. I'm excited to continue to support him in this path as he seeks opportunity and scholarship through Wishbone this year.
