[garnes d]

will be grease.? but iam black, ther are others but i don't feel that comfortable playing an extra on grease, i will feel sort of wierd, do you think i should go for it?

[Trish the Dish]

You should go for it. If you get a part as an extra, there is nothing written in stone saying you actually have to do it.

As for color, I think if you just let your natural talent shine through, people are going to look straight past the fact that you are black.

Heck, maybe it would be freshening if we had a production with a black Danny or Sandy! It certainly would put a new twist on things.

Break a leg!

When an actor is good, People forget what color they are.

GO FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Juturuna c]

I would say go for it. Don't let race be an issue!

Its a small part so there's no need to be afraid.

And its good too, since you're new, it will give you a chance to know what the stage really feels like. Baby steps you know?

Go for it! Forget about race, if acting is your passion, it doesn't matter what the color of your skin is. =]
