You can make that happen by signing up for the Shakespeare Monologue Contest! The Pittsburgh Public Theater offs you the chance to get up on stage and try out acting.  You will memorize a brief monologue,  or work with friends to learn a scene, get coaching from actual actors then go on stage and do your best. You can enter to win or you can enter to have an experience on stage that you’ll remember all your life.
