Acquaintances advised the parents of the boy to send him to the theater school, so that he could become more relaxed and learn how to cope with his complexes. Soon, Richard first began to participate in theatrical productions.
The child quickly coped with his shyness. Her remoteness is not only to become one of the participants in theatrical performances, but also to shine on stage with her acting talent. Teachers have repeatedly said that Madden copes with his roles and demonstrates real talent.
