YAHOO!!! I took the plunge and ditched the script for the entire rehearsal. As a wise scientist once stated: “Once you set your mind to it, you can accomplish anything.” I will not say that I was perfect but I felt good after the evening was complete. So fun and ultimately rewarding… now I can […]

and still actors still have their scripts on stage! Ok… so I’m one of them but it is more of a crutch than anything else. Besides, as I said there are still 17 days until the curtain goes up and the “NO BOOK” deadline is set for Friday. I think tonight I will go completely

Monday night at rehearsal, we had about half the cast present without either of the directors. This greatly limited the amount of work we could accomplish. It was decided that we would once again run lines. Quite often in these situations, actors are asked to read multiple roles. I ended up being three of the
OOOPS… wrong show… or is it?. Tonight was the read-through for my latest on-stage endeavor. I will say that reading the script with the actors (sans one) was an absolute RIOT! You Have the Right to Remain Dead is much more than an audience-participatory murder mystery, it almost plays like a melodrama. I believe I

WOW! This has to rank amongst the quickest audition results I have ever gotten. Monday morning at 10AM (mere hours after I auditioned), I got a phone call from the assistant director of You Have the Right to Remain Dead and was asked if I would like to accept the coveted, intrigal part of Harnell
Does this mean I got a part? If not, I will turn in my license to act tomorrow. Truthfully, I was the only male at tryouts. That is not to say that there were not other audition dates. In fact, this was the last one and the best time for me to go. The play

Saturday was the day that the theatre collaborated with Moonlight Productions to make the movie version of one our plays from a few years ago. This is the first time I have been involved in such an endeavor but have sat through a few acting classes in which we discussed the differences between live theatre

Our community theatre, in it’s infinite wisdom, has decided to limit the number of musicals to one per season. I suppose that I can see the need for this. A good, well-known musical is much more expensive to produce than a play. However, it has been pointed out time and again that musicals are the

that I am glad my last on stage theatrical experience was only a three night affair (no pun intended). I returned “home” tonight to a marvelously hilarious yet intriguing tour de force. The Lion in Winter is a brilliant play that has everything: comedy, drama, comedy, backstabbing, COMEDY, a steller set, did I mention comedy.
Only ONE Good Reason… Read More »
I am not one for searching out a play and just reading if for the sake of reading it. Funny that… I love theatre, I am on a play-reading committee at my local theatre, but yet I find reading plays a chore. However, give me a script to memorize or audition for and…. ZAP… I’m
