DO come to rehearsal on time, warmed up, with your script and a pencil, and ready to work. DON’T come to rehearsal carrying emotional baggage from the ups and downs of "real life" outside the theater. Leave it at the door. DO bring homework, a book, or something else to do quietly when you are not working onstage or learning lines. DON’T wander so far away from the stage that you can’t hear your name being called. DO provide several character choices and line interpretations for your director. DON’T tell the director or another actor how someone else's part should be played. DO memorize your lines (and lyrics) as quickly as possible, including your cues. You should be “off book” for a scene the day after it has been blocked. DON’T feed dialogue to an actor struggling with lines. Stay in character, and leave that to the stage manager or assistant director. DO work chase and fight scenes (especially with weapons) in slow motion, step by step, under adult supervision. DON’T allow your imagination and enthusiasm to turn you into a superhero, Jedi knight or ninja. DO find a way to get along with everyone in the cast. DON’T fall in love with any member of the cast until after the show is over. |
