Talking from experience, musical theatre and acting can be amazing! But it really depends on what you like. You can't really ask what an experience is like unless you experience it yourself, since it is different for everyone.
You need to decide if you want to try it, and if you like it, great! If you don't, move on to something else. Depending on how involved you are, it varies on how much time it takes up.
It definitely involves commitment, but it shouldn't distract to much from work! Hope this helps!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
