The Play Is Not In

The Theatre-acting, Creating, Interpreting - Means Total Involvement, The Totality Of Heart, Mind And Spirit.

When You Stand On The Stage You Must Have A Sense That You Are Addressing The Whole World, And That What You Say Is So Important The Whole World Must Listen.

The Actor Must Be Full Of Passion. If He's Too Cool He's Better Off As The Manager Of A Company, Not Someone Who Appears On The Stage.

When An Acting Teacher Tells A Student 'that Wasn't Honest Work' Or 'that Didn't Seem Real,' What Does This Mean? In Life, We Are Rarely 'truthful' Or 'honest' Or 'real'. And Characters In Plays Are Almost Never 'truthful' Or 'honest' Or 'real'. What Exactly Do Teachers Even Mean By These Words? A More Useful Question Is: What Is The Story The Actor Was Telling In Their Work? An Actor Is Always Telling A Story. We All Are Telling Stories, All The Time. Story: That Is What It Is All About.

Life In The Theatre Isn't Necessarily When You Get Money From Performing. It Isn't When You Sign A Contract. It Isn't Even When You Are In A Play. It's When You Understand It. If You Understand It, You'll Know Why You Want To Act.
