“Safety first” is not a platitude. In any respectable theatre company, it is a way of life.

One of the more disheartening debates I find within theatre among actors and directors is whether drama or comedy is more difficult.

In the end, you can more readily own all that you character is, when you are able to wear his clothing without giving it second thought.

Assuming you are not a member of an actor’s labor union, there are many things you could and should be doing to help a production run more smoothly.

Concentrate on invoking the image of someone moved to weeping while on stage, instead of invoking active ducts.

Unless you choose to severely limit your potential roles, chances are you will at some point be called upon to play a character who is in some degree of love with another character in the play.

The next time you’re in a show, open up a Word file, or lay down two bucks for a blank journal, and start writing away.

Being in good physical shape will also help us as actors.
