Profile

My name is Bobby Beaucage and I'm 20 years old. My goals for the years to come are to get my college degree, go to the university and work in the theatre business, buy a house, travel around the world, learn many foreign languages and have a dog. My achievements so far have been to earn my high school diploma, work with the mentrally challenged, have organized many shows and moved out of my mom's house.

My interests are music, theater, singing, cinema, clubbing, literature and playing at computer games, and PS3, hanging out with friends. Speaking of them, I have a restricted network of loyal friends. One of them is a red-headed guy with a great sense of humor, though he's quite stubborn at times. One of my other friend is s sweet little blondish girl with an incredibly friendly personality, although a little naïve.

My skills are acting, singing, drawing, writing, sewing, cooking, cleaning, gardening, knitting, driving. Although I'm not really good in mathematics, physics, chemestry and biology. My strongest abilities are to play and direct actors.
