Oh, and a real quick P.S.
IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE HUNGER GAMES, YOU MUST DO IT NOW.
Seriously. Go.
You're missing out.

Blah blah blah blah blah....
I really have to stop making false promises about blogs. Or life in general. But, since Rachel things I need to blog in order to use my degree - which is why I set this thing up in the first place - here I am. Maybe this will be good for me, as I'm currently unemployed. Again.
So, I'm working on a new show, at the Clermont Inn. And, while they're just little one-acts that most "serious" actors would write off, I really enjoy doing them. I mean, yes, rehearsal can get kind of tedious. But, that's true with any show.
The Clermont Inn is such a unique setting. I feel like every actor, who's actually serious about what they do, should jump at the chance. It definitely helped me improve my techniques - whatever those are. Rather than having the lights and everything cut you off from the audience, the fourth wall is shattered at the Clermont. The blocking is woven in between tables where people are enjoying their dinner. And there are even times when the "characters" interact with the audience. It's so much fun. It makes the audience feel like they're truly a part of the atmosphere that's being woven in between courses.
(Wow, that paragraph felt like a real article. Go me!)
Also, free dinner is involved when you do shows there. NOTHING beats free food.
Ok, I'm due at rehearsal soon, so I suppose I should cut this short.
See you on the flip side! ^_^
(I have no idea what that means...but it sure sounds cool.)
