Yes. Throughout school I sang in choirs and acted in plays. Later, I engaged in a debate, which was also performing because I was totally full of sh!t.

I was in a band for a long time, and we played a lot of shows. The biggest one was in front of about 300 people with Yellowcard before they got huge.

I roleplayed Domestic violence senarios for kids so that they would know a little bit what it was like. I actually had women who where formerly abused start crying and telling me that my performance was spot on.

Uh, yes, and that's all I'm saying.

I have sung in choirs and talent reviews, and I opened for a major artist (Lakeside) on an open air stage and I also acted on stage.

Yah 19 times I've performed on the stage .Recently I played my piano for the national level championship and i got 23rd place.

Yes. Two years have passed, and I'm still known as "Scrooge" at my old school.

Many times. I was in drama clubs at school and University, and also was in a couple of bands. We did live gigs almost every week. Some big venues sometimes and a lot of pubs and club stuff.

yes

I perform on the stage of life every day.

Yes, many times. i have been in band concerts, orchestra concerts, and musical solos. i have acted on stage in many plays as well.

Yep. I've performed on stage for ballet, tap and jazz shows, orchestra and choral performances, and a bit of acting.

I had done improvisation on stage. I was terribly shy at one time in my life and I thought I was time to break some of my boundaries. It was hard to do but once it was over I felt great.

Yes many times . Acting and Dancing

Yup, the Apollo... tap dancing! So fun!

yes... SOLO~in school talent shows singing GROUP~school band and choral concerts...I'm looking forward to being in many musicals too.

Yes. I acted in plays in High School.

Yup, that's how I make my living. I'm an opera singer-or, in government terms I'm a Schedule 1099 Performing Artist, LOL.

Yes. In high school, I took an acting class. I was alot more shy back then, though.

Yup! I've done voice recitals, lots ans lots of musicals, plays, lots and lots of dances, and I've also given speeches.

Yep, I played Moses in a play when I was in the 5th grade.

Actually ive been on stage QUITE a few times...my first time on stage i was about 4 and my dad was singing in front of 5000 people and i got up on stage and sung the TMNT theme song! then when i was in 6th grade i played Robin Robin in Hansel & Gretel...ive also been in a few plays after that incuding a movie that i just finished called "Shakespears lost bluegrass As You Like It" a great story and i cant wait to see the finished film

Many times. I am a singer, and love it. I've sing in concerts; assemblies in high school, and in a lot of churches. I also got the chance to go to "All State"; it was fun; it was about a 350 voice choir. I primarily sing in church, and have had oppurtunities to be a part of CDs. I will continue to do this, and hopefully go somewhere as long as I don't let anything get in my way.

I've been on stage at science fiction conventions a few times to show off the oostumes we made. (Actually, she mostly made the costumes, and I made the props and the soundtrack.)

Yes, I have been performing since I was 17 as a vocalist and musician.

oh yes, many times. I have been in band since the 5th grade and every 3rd month we would have a concert. I am now in 10th grade, so 5x3=15 plus special occasions like talent shows, so about 20 times.

Yes. I loved it, but ironically I gave it up for love. (*note; I have no regrets about it) :p

ya for a school drama thinger

Yes. I played the part of Raif Rackstraw in Gilbert & Sullivan's H. M. S. Pinafore at age 16. I also played many concerts as a classical and jazz trumpeter over the years. When I was in college, I sang in a choir that performed Beethoven's 9th Symphony at Symphony Hall in Boston. It has been about 20 years since I last performed on stage.

Yeh, but they told me to put it back on.

Yes, I was in two school bands and we went on a couple mini-tours.

Yea! hell woz it nerve racking, and so tiring!

Yea, but never acting. Always for music.

I have done a few local shows where I used to live through the community college and then the theatre guild I belonged to. I've always seemed to be parts that are much older than I am. (ie. been 18 at the time and played a 40, 50, 60 year old)

Many times. Mainly at church functions; also at school assemblies, and competitions. Also, I've played parts in plays. My favorite play that I sang in was called, "Gold". It was written by a pastor in Seattle, Wa. It had to do with a widow; a drunk homeless person; person strung out on drugs, etc. This play had a very good message behind it, and touched a lot of peoples lives.

I've done many chorus performances and also 4 voice recitals.

Definately. I was a musician for a while before attempting acting, so I had my share of performances. I then tried out for my school's performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream...and then it all began. /nostalgia.

Yes. I love acting and I am always in the shows at my High School. Midsummer Night's Dream, Aida, and soon to be City of Angels... should be lots of fun.

Yes, I have. I was in a school production for the Bicentennial, three dance recitals, and a musical at our church.

yes, many years ago in holly wood. florida that is. the last song of the night was dirty laundry. the lead singer foolishly asked if any body wanted to come up and sing. well i just walked my drunk happy ass up there and did. sorry, i just saw this was in theater.

Yes alot

Yes. I was in a few plays that we were required to participate in when I was in elementary school, middle school band concerts, and high school band concerts. I never liked being on stage in front of people though.

sooo many times and I've had quite an array of roles. My father and I were both cast in the same play once. It was a comedy called "Flaming Idiots". My dad's character had the hots for mine. That was fun to try to explain to friends. I've also played several male roles including Bilbo Baggins in "The Hobbit". We tried to wrap up my chest the best we could but I know at least one poor kid couldn't figure out why Bilbo had boobs.

I was in a competitive sing and dance choir when I was in high school. I was on stage many, many times and miss it!

Yes... it was a rough period of my life, I needed the money.

Yes, I danced on stage, and have participated in some stage plays.

yes in high school it was a blast :-)

A few times,didnt like it though.

I toured with few bands, playing few different instruments.

Yes, many times acting. A few other times playing with my high school jazz band

Yes ... professionally for over 35+ years! This period of my life taught me very, very much about 'the human condition!' In this sense and form, there are no 'bad' characters per se, just people--usually unknown to them on a conscious level --who 'function' from very poor psychological or physical reasons. Indeed, actors 'act' BEHAVIORS' and do not perform through using 'just the words.' No professional actor would say, 'HEY! This guy is evil! I can't 'play' that!' They, in their Craft would search for not only the justification for this character's 'awful' behavior, but would also create balance with the characters 'soft sides.' This is accomplished with at least one moment [of the character's portrayer] of humanity and/or 'weakness.' EVERYONE has something 'good' in them, no kidding! Makes for dynamic and 'identifiable' human beings and a better story for not just the actors involved, but for the overall audience experience! As for the written word: for the most part scripts are thoughtfully and meticulously created by writers whether for stage, film, television or commercials. One thing that makes performance art truly wonderful is that it relies completely on a cooperative environment. No one person is 'key.' All come together -- writer, director, producer, actor, stage hands, the theater itself AND the audience -- to generate a meaningful 'product' and experience! My question to you would be, "Why did you post this question?" Are you desiring to get on stage yourself? Or, was posing your question just out of curiosity? I'd like to know ... really!

I have been performing on stage since I was twelve years old I am now 28...I am blessed to have been given the ability and the opportunity to do so. I grew up surrounded by artists in my family and it seemed only natural that I would gravitate towards it. performing on stage at such a young age gave me so much confidence and self esteem to move right through those akward teen years where you are so aware you are inside your skin in a breeze. this why I think the arts are so important in our communities. I don't believe that every person needs to perform on stage but I do think that every young person should be given the freedom to express themselves in whatever medium they choose whether its music, dance, theatre, visual arts, film, etc... we all have a story to tell and if we aren't telling our own stories then who will?

Yeah. I'd hardly count it though. It was for a class and I only did a couple scenes. I should probably refrain from acting is what I learned.

Yes. I took ballet when I was 7 or 8, and I performed with them. I was in the drama club in high school, so I was on stage for 3 or 4 different plays. I played the piano for years and had many recitals in which I played on stage. I played in the school band from 5th grade (age 10) until I finished at the junior college (about age 22) and performed with concert, marching, and jazz bands many times a year. (The marching bands were not on stage, but the other two were) I played in the orchestra pit for a local theater group - and was on stage once for that, but usually found myself under the stage in the pit. I think that's about it.

In school, yes. I was in choir and was in a play. But out of school, what I have done is create background scenery and make costuming. That is where my true art lies.

Yes, when I was a child. I loved it, but I didn't pursue it because I was too busy learning other life lessons, (which taught me in the long run to be a better person and I have no regrets about it)

Yep. My band toured the local area for quite a few years before breaking up. I almost miss those days...almost.

Yes. I have acted on plays. Ive done tons of concerts. But mostly plays. Kindergarten through high school calls me the actress. My first main role was in kinder 2. i did as the smart third pig in the three pigs and the big bad wolf. im in six grade now, and have participated in more than 30 plays, 10 in which i have been the main character.

Yes several times.

Once...when little girl I sang a song..

Yes, I've performed on stage. I had a scholarship in Theatre and performed on Main Stage in many productions. I also performed as a vocalist.

Yes, it's been a while, but I've been thinking of returning to the stage. It's fun to pretend you are someone else.

In a public school Christmas play... :-)

Yes, as a professional, a student, and an amateur. There were some years in my life when I spent more time onstage than off. Then someone convinced me that short women with a few extra pounds just couldn't work in theater, and I tried to find something else to do for about a decade. That didn't work out, so now I'm hoping to go back to it.

Yup, many times.

yea and it was AWESOME because I am so shy and it was a very COOL experience being on stage...i also like to make my own little videos with just me more friends too.

Many,many times. I was in a band. I was did theater for a few months also.

all the time. I'm a musician and play a few times a week. I'm going on tour in June. I was onstage last night! That's why I'm tired today and doing nothing more than sitting in front of the computer and watching some tv.

Yup yup yup! Quite often too!

Very much so. I made once a big fool of myself while intoxicated.

Yes. Two friends of mine and I performed in our school's talent show last February. We wrote our own composition and we actually won first place. It was cool. I have a video of it but the quality isn't that great. (I'm all the way on the left)

Yes, long ago.

yes im 13 and been in lots of shows at school and out of school

Yes, I've done some theater. I've also done a little on-camera work and it's nothing compared to how great live theater is. With being on stage, you get the audiences' response right away and you can feed off the energy. What a rush!

Yeah. You could say that.

if i think my bedroom is an audience of one then yes, if it is an audience of two i really perform. i cant wait to be on a bigger stage but i will

yep:) mostly it's lots of fun...unless you stuff up :)

Stage what for, just give me some liquor and an audience!!

Yes, I used to be in show choir, and we would sing and dance, yay! The make up was just hilarious, we looked liked hookers off stage.lol;-}

Absolutely!! :-)

Many times at my school! Most recently I was Lumiere in Beauty & The Beast.

In fifth grade I sang in a barber shop quartet. "By The Light of The Silvery Moon"

for shizel!!!!!!

When I was 7, as a ballerina.

yes, in year 5 i was on stage in a play at the crucible, and recently i was in footloose

In high school I was in the Drama Class..we did plays in front of an audience but our "stage" was the Boy's Gym! :)

Yes I have sang on stage many times.:-)+

Just for school purposes. :P

Yes.

ahh love the feeling :D

ya i have performed on stage many times,and always won the first prize.(dancing,singing and modelling,plays,skit)

Many times! I do public speaking about disabilities, real estate, trading options and a few other topics. As far as "acting", "doing a comedy routine" or playing an instrument are concerned, I haven't done any of those in quite some time. Thanks for asking your Q! I enjoyed answering it! VTY, Ron Berue Yes, that is my real last name! Sources: Because you asked.

Yes the point in Dublin

i've been playing an instrument for 7 years, and now am a senior in high school. i am in 4 different ensembles, not including chamber groups and the like. my average number of concerts to perform in during the school year is... um... 5? and there are always 2 or 3 different ensembles per concert....... so, yeah.

yes :)

Sure, I was a flower in the 2nd grade school play.

At every school band concert.
