Your Town

I tell you guys what, I've really been digging the last couple of weeks in Advanced Drama (1st and 6th periods).

We've been reading and working through Thornton Wilder's play OUR TOWN. And it's been really great. Great to encounter this terrific play again (OT: OUR TOWN was an AWESOME documentary)...even better to use some of Wilder's famous scenes to step into acting.

Please know that I am going to be tough on you as actors. I expect a lot and I am willing to teach you a lot about acting. But it may--some days at least--be painful. Irritating. It may seem that you never quite impress me enough, or that I'm not really satisfied with your efforts.

Just hang in there. I am on your side. I want to see you succeed like never before.
