SPECIAL RULES FOR TUESDAY’S REHEARSAL
IMPORTANT!!! READ ALL OF THIS!!!!
This Tuesday we will rehearse Act 2, Scene 2 which is the
Times Square scene. This scene includes Narrator, Stanley, Viola, Star Guy,
Triple Time, Blossom, Wombat Woman, Girls, Rock Group, Emcee, Rotten Penny,
Crowd (extras), Police.
YOUR ASSIGNMENT – All Advanced and Principles of Drama
students shall spend the entire rehearsal IN CHARACTER. The minute you walk
into the fellowship hall for rehearsal on Tuesday, you must be in character and
stay in character!! Whatever your character is for this scene, that is who you
will be until you walk out the door at the end of rehearsal. Even if you’re
coming in to drop off your book bag, once you cross that threshold, you shall become
your character. Need to ask a question? Do it in character. Need to get a
drink? Do it in character. Taking a break? Do it in character. Blowing your
nose? In character. Every line, every action, every reaction, must be done in
character! No breaking character allowed. If you mess up on a line, react as
your character would react. If you find something funny, respond as your
character would respond.
Does this make you nervous? Are you wondering how in the
world you’re going to be able to do this? GOOD!! If you’ve been working
consistently on character development, this assignment shouldn’t be too
difficult. If not? Well… at least you have the weekend to work on it. J
Please understand this assignment is to be taken seriously
and all drama students are expected to participate.
I’m available by telephone and email all weekend long if you
have any questions or need any help.
This assignment is not applicable to extras participating in
the scene.
