WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Having the chance (and being encouraged) to talk to you about my character and what we think works and doesn't was great! Because of your friendliness, I felt like i really could make suggestions. You made it very clear that you are there not just to put on the best show YOU could,
but the best show ALL OF US could.
I felt like you grew with us in understanding the show and let us figure things out that made scenes feel more natural. You let us make decisions on stage and make each scene our own which definitely made me feel more comfortable acting.
I loved how we got so much time to flesh out our characters with either little ticks unique to the characters or backstories through writing in our notebook. It was honestly very helpful, and made me so much more connected to this specific character than maybe any other before. It really gave me that extra push i've been dying for in performing!!!
