The idea of a drama club actually started before high school, it began in junior high when my friend Alex and I wanted to create a community theater. Alex and I met in the town�s first Missoula Children�s Theater production auditioning right next to each other and later acting together as the same group of characters. We both loved the feeling, the rush of the theater and wanted to share it with the community more than just one time a year. We got all the support any seventh grade kid could get to create a community theater, but we didn�t get it financially especially we didn�t know what exactly what to do. We decided to postpone our idea until we knew what exactly what to do and had the money to do so. That day came the first day of high school.
Alex was sitting in her freshman English class listening to another teacher go on about themselves and well falling asleep while listening to them but she started listening all of a sudden when her teacher Gary Bettencourt began to speak about his experience in the theater. This gave her a bright idea. As soon as class finished, she went up to Bettencourt and asked him if he was interested in helping to create the drama club by becoming the advisor. Bettencourt said he would think about it and give her an answer later in the week until then she should find other students that would be interested. Right after that conversation, which also happens to be our break, she went running through the school looking for me.
�We are going to have a drama club!� she said to me.
�Wait. What?� I asked her back confused since I thought our dream was on hold. That�s when Alex told him about her conversation with Bettencourt and I became ecstatic. We were two girls jumping up and down thinking of all the possibilities of what we could do. Now I think of it as one of the best thinks I have ever heard in my life.
As we were jumping up and down, another student from Bettencourt�s same class went back to the class to talk to him. That student was Ferguson, my best friend who said he would do theater any more because he moved from the Bay Area to a small town and the theater wouldn�t be as good in a small town. When he first told me this I thought it was an excuse because he possibly might suck. Ferguson asked the same Bettencourt the same question. This was a surprise to Bettencourt as in just 10 minutes two students asked him to advise a drama club and just by this he decided to help. Bettencourt then told Ferguson that he would give him an answer tomorrow. He did this so he could tell both Alex and Ferguson the decision at the same time thought they both had no idea they both asked him.
