“Burn your bridges, start again. You should burn them every now and then. Or you’ll never grow!” -from the musical Merrily We Roll Along by Stephen Sondheim
For the actor…
Age, type, experience, marketability, look, etc…They all pale in comparison to “spirit.”
If you capture the spirit of the character, then you will capture us. And after about 5 minutes, we’ll roll with anything.
Our Vs. reading this past week and the fantastic high school production I saw tonight both reminded of the fact. Ages were wrong. But the spirits were oh so right.
P.S. – This is why you must produce your own work. Don’t rely on people to see you the way you see you.
