Hey Everyone.... rehearsals are going so well so far! We have completely blocked act one of the show and it is hillarious! Everyone is doing a great job.
Directing a teenage cast is fun. VERY FUN! The first time I directed teenagers, I vowed that rehearsals were going to be fun and they are! It seems like everyone is having a great time and enjoying each other. One of the hardest rules to remember as an actor is NEVER to criticize, make suggestions or give unsolicited advice to another actor. Any creative suggestions you might have should be used for your own character, not someone else’s. People love to point out how someone else could do better. If an actor has a problem with another actor or a suggestion for them, they should bring it to the director privately. In the professional theater, it’s absolutely taboo for an actor to complain about or critique another actor. The hierarchy is there for a reason: everyone can play good cop, but only the director should play bad cop. Our goal is to form a cohesive ensemble built on trust so that all of you are willing to take risks with your characters.
Think about it ... and enjoy your time with the show!
Break a Leg,
Mr. F.
