12 yo daughter just finished a five show run of the Wizard of Oz. She was in several scenes in the chorus and really enjoyed her first time treading the boards. Also my first time watching an Am-Dram musical. I was seriously impressed by the leading actors. After a couple of minor hiccups on the first night, they were very very good. The last night went like a dream and were rewarded with a very justifiable standing ovation.
Also, everyone seems to be really friendly (but firm when they need to be) and daughter has made new friends which is always good. Anyone got other experience in this field?? Just to see where she might go from here if she gets the bug?

Only experience of Am Dram itself, I was a stage manager for some years.
I really enjoyed it. Friendly people with the occasional untalented diva. I never knew anybody to go anywhere further with it, but we all had lots of fun. And it was the opportunity to meet people from outside your own social or work circles.
My 15 yr old has been doing it for 3 or 4 years in Chile - for her its obviously in English or Spanish depending on the play. She enjoys it. It has also been very good for her confidence in front of people.
My duties as taxi driver have been the only downside.
I think that kick boxing is now taking over [sigh], but it was great while it lasted.
