Featured Player, Gabby Roy
My name is Gabby Roy, I'm 13 going on 14. I am in grade 9 and I can't wait to go to high school next year. Although, my school years wouldn't be as fun if I weren't doing CYPT. I've always loved acting and did it in school from time to time, though I never really thought of myself actually performing on a actual stage.
Then I did a play in grade 7 called the The Wizard of Oz, and I played the Wicked Witch of the West. Only then did I realize my potential. I started to want to get into more plays and learn more about theatre. When I started getting so interested, my parents got me into a CYPT summer camp and I had a blast. We started to learn more about CYPT and that they actually let kids without experience, audition for a number of fun plays. So I took a shot at an audition and got in!
My first play was On The Loose with Dr. Seuss. The cast got to perform at a bunch of libraries and do our play in front of little kids, re-enacting some of Dr. Seuss's stories. The second play I got put into was The Daily Mischief. It was about a girl who starts a newspaper getting all the kids together because they believed the other newspaper didn't print the right stories. I played a twin named Alice and we had to try and make me look like the other twin. All those plays were really fun and I will never forget the people I met in CYPT.
I've made so many friends throughout each play and we always have fun. I loved the games we played in rehearsals to build our acting skills. Every rehearsal went by way too quickly! The play I am in now is called Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! You can imagine what a thrill that is. Overall CYPT changed my view of acting and probably changed me. I'm not as shy as I was before, I realized my potential in acting and I've gotten better at it! CYPT is something that everyone can do and it’s a great experience. I hope to be in CYPT for a long time.
