Understanding

Understanding the entire script is vital. "I cannot stress enough..." Yes, it's vital.

Details are important but the whole sometimes needs to be taken into careful consideration. For the past few weeks details were scrutinized, and a conclusion reached. But wait! the conclusion may be quite surprising...or anticipated :)
Once again, let me remind you-Do not have a set fixed character. that is the director's idea to play with ;)

An actor by nature (yes it exists in our modern world now) has to be as an open book. Pages empty, too. I write as well so I have a good view from both angles, but acting was always my little thing. I did that before I even learned to write!

But enough chitter chatter. Tomorrow is our first real rehearsal. I can't wait!

I know it will be the happiest I've been for the few weeks we were just studying lines. That's because "Actors get bored when they're not acting. They just don't know what to do." This quote is not mine :)

That quote was by Alan, our producer and was a hopeful director until Gary came in. I don't really know there's some drama going on backstage again *rolls eyes*

Oh this is also good experience for an actor: When I was in high school, I joined the running crew and tech crew (though at that-I sucked! Yeah, I can't believe it either!!). It's very good to know what's going on all around even if you don't like it. Ignorance serves best to those who don't pay but knowledge is a given.
