Matt, I had been waiting to see the photo op for the city of Milwaukee/Shakespeare of Milwaukee — you did not disappoint! The descriptions of the few, the proud, the costumed, shivering outside or getting into character using hapless passersby as pawns elicited much laughter here — so much so that my children had to come and see why I was inelegantly guffawing.

Having now seen the production, thanks to the school matinee series, we all agreed that your description of the Marvin the Martian hat was very apt, and that the character development outdoor training session was obviously highly successful, as we thoroughly enjoyed the cave boys’ performance. The entire production was beautiful, engaging, and entertaining. We had a marvelous time. Thanks to you all!!

What perceptive and provocative questions! That’s what’s so wonderful about artists engaging their audience — you truly experience the necessary, cyclical relationship of the creation of art and its consumption. The pre-show talks that Marcy and Bryce have given are worth getting to the theatre 45 minutes early, too!

Hi indeed! We’re looking forward to the workshops. What a funny bunch o’ anecdotes you’re gathering for the memory books! I’ve seen the show twice and love it. My students are clamoring to come see it, too!

Love reading the blog! Thanks for all the anecdotes and details. It all adds a different perspective on my vision of the play. Can’t wait to see it. Only wish I could have been there for the firemen. Congrats to all the cast on all the great reviews.

WHAT? You spent the night in the greenroom? That’s crazy - tell us more. For example: Which greenroom? Office or theatre? Why is it called a greenroom? And more importantly: why did you spend the night in the greenroom?
You’re joking, right?
Your friend,
Noel

Ha… there’s some great cross-publicity for the MFD, too, right!?

Looks like you “sparkled” after you were ablaze… see Damien Jacques’ great review in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=731230 I agree with Damien’s assessments of the show — congratulations to the cast and crew.

Insightful post, Matt. I often remind my students how acting is so physical and not to dissimilar from athletics in terms of the conditioning and connection with mind and spirit, as it were.

Comment on types and auditioning (my day off) by chrissycons

Ah, remember when days off were days off? Those were times.
Good to see you, sir. I hope the audition was rockin’. Clearly I was not in your dreams, as my name and “Valedvictorian” are rarely in the same vicinity.
