My reading has really fallen behind lately with everything going on, but I finally finished On Method Acting by Ed Easty. It was a good read and helped me get a little more insight into the renowned Stanislavsky technique. I didn’t really spend a lot of time with the exercises as it was more of a knowledge read than a practical one for me. Doing community theater you don’t really plumb the debts of the character’s psyche… but I wanted to better understand the method and be able to discuss it intelligently with people who are a little more serious about their craft. And there is definitely some usable stuff there, even for small timers like myself.
On that note, we have also finally filled the cast and started rehearsals for 1940’s Radio Show – hope to get some publicity going soon about it on the Tallahatchie River Players web I’m doing for them now.
