• Here’s an example of what you are writing, compliments of wikihow:

Kelly Hobson is excited to be performing in her first leading role as Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz. A sophomore at New York’s Rogers School for the Performing Arts, she has appeared in the choruses of Oklahoma and The Music Man, in which she was an understudy for the role of Amaryllis. Kelly will spend this summer touring Europe with an acting troupe that will perform selections from the works of Andrew Lloyd Webber in fourteen different venues. Upon graduation, Kelly hopes to attend NYU so that she can continue to seek out Broadway roles. She is accomplished pianist and also enjoys studying foreign languages. Kelly thanks her parents for always letting her pursue her dreams. She is also profoundly grateful for director Carl Rogan and his faith in her. Kelly is actively involved with Broadway Gives Back, an organization that aids with recovery efforts for areas devastated by natural disasters. She and her fellow performers will be in the vestibule to collect donations for this charity following each performance.

Yours doesn’t have to be as formal, but it’s a good example of what we are looking for from you.
