Fearful Actors

Today was vaguely satisfying in a mean spirited sort of way because we finally got to see the actors sweat a little.

Now that every actor has gone through the motions and more or less found a character, it’s time for the improv sessions to move into the next phase. What that next phase is is actually sort of up in the air because the chain of command is not entirely established, so we don’t know who can green light what, or how far anyone can go. The actors also stopped and started thinking about story today, rather than worrying simply about performance and when they did, they arrived at the same conclusion that the other writer and I came to days ago; how the hell is this all going to work?

I know I shouldn’t be taking such evil joy in this, but after seeing the same look of concern light their faces that has been on mine for the last week, I feel somewhat cheerier knowing that I’m not the only one sweating bullets right now.

Okay, so I’m evil…
