Whose Line Is It Anyway?

Day 115 – April 25, 2018

Lines – WPC    Elaborate – DWP

It is no secret, if you are familiar with this blog, as to what I do.  And you probably know what has been and is now happening.  Allow me to elaborate. Right now I am in the middle of a month of productions. Closed a show last weekend that I directed, performing in a show this week, and then opening a show the following weekend that I am also directing.  Needless to say, I am about worn to the bone, but then again I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t love it. Quite frankly, it is my passion, my drug of choice that produces the ultimate high for me.  A better indicator that I am addicted to this “drug”, is how I handle any long periods in between the last “fix”. It is a “high” that is safe, natural and satisfying (even if I do feel like I got hit by a train the morning after).  And while I love it, there is one aspect that is what will bring it all back to reality.  The scripts, in the photo above, all have one thing in common, and actually one thing that every other script has to have.  Words that form dialogue.  As performers we call them lines.  And it’s probably one of the most challenging parts, especially as actors, to memorize their lines.  The performers I work with struggle with them all the time.   I have also noticed, the older I get, the memorization of those said lines becomes more and more difficult.  Often leaving me to call “line”!  Find a reason to smile today 😁
