The city was not their (local) theatre, but when he came to the Saratov theatre (company), I never missed an opportunity to look at them performances. I so loved the theater that he decided to become an actress after I graduate from school. I participated in an Amateur (amateur) performances, and several times during the holidays we went to Moscow to watch performances from such great actors, as Moskvin, Paschen, Kacha fishing, one Day, Tarasov.
Finally the day came, when I first came on the scene well of this house. I was so worried that didn't notice, as the curtain rose. When I spoke to him, I didn't recognize his own voice. Then ended the first act and the curtain has fallen. I felt that I was crying because I was very upset: I thought I was bad played a role. I was approached and spronin why I was crying. "Don't you hear the audience applauding you? You played perfectly.
At first I believed it, but then I was under my teacher, one of the oldest actors of the theatre, and said that he really liked my playing. I was approached the other actors and said that I had fulfilled my role. It was the happiest day of my life.
