What's the biggest audience you've performed for?

Years ago I did public speaking and drama. It was a real rush to get the audience to react to your performance. I guess I let it go because there was more money in engineering but sometimes I wonder... Biggest audience was maybe a thousand for a halloween story entitled, "The Real Thing", I performed up at Saint Cloud College. My favorite though was a one act titled, "An Overpraised Season" where I was the main character confronting his overly religious mother so he could go to a dance with a girl. Also did some shakespear in college. It was fun but got a bit monotonous.

Not exactly the same, but when I began as Back-up Team Lead, I had to learn the whole job. Which requires the Lead to give the Production Report or Green Room, as it was called. Well, needless to say, the idea of having to stand up and speak to 35+ scared me to fits, but I just had to remember, I've been in that room every morning since I started working there, just standing on the other side of the room. My trainer helped the first few, cause it was a lot of info to give in 5 minutes. But after the first week, I had no more problems doing it. Plus, once you learn what every aspect of every job is, it's super easy, but fun to be able to engage with them.

Now in front of complete strangers? Nah, pass... maybe in the next life. 🥹
