My name is Dennis. I like indie and alternative music. I've played a little bit of guitar.
Both of my parents are doctors. I am a medical student but I want to be an actress. I like all kinds of music. I do community theater. I like a girl but she doesn't know.
Are you any closer to becoming a doctor? I have one year left, but I still want to be an actress instead. Do you have any acting experience? I had one line in the Winter Musical in third grade. I guess I did ok. No one laughed. What kinds of shows have you been in? I really like to do musicals. I'm a pretty good singer! Do you sing too or just play guitar? I sing a little. Only backing up the main singer. I play rhythm guitar. Have you been in any shows while you are doing med school? No, unfortunately. There is one coming up this summer I might audition for if I have time. Medical school is so intense! Yeah. Being a doctor is more than full time, so the training would be intense too. One year left. That's so close. Can you practice medicine while you pursue acting? Or do amateur theater or something? I hope so. I want to work at a family practice, so I think I'll have more free time than if I worked at a hospital or something. That makes sense. If you were part of a larger practice with other doctors, that might give you more time for acting. Do you know what city you want to practice in? A city with lots of theater? I'd love to work in Chicago, but I don't really like big cities. Maybe I can find something in the suburbs so I still have access to the great theater opportunities. Chicago also has a great music scene! Have you been there? Only to the airport on a layover. I'd love to go catch the music there. I love jazz and the blues and I'd love to check the scene there. Hey, how does a doctor even get a job? Are there job applications and interviews? Or do you just open up shop somewhere? I've made a lot of connections with other doctors at established practices in medical school. I'll probably end up taking the offer with someone who would be a great mentor for a new doctor.
