I've been cast as Mrs. Gibbs in Thorton Wilder's play, "Our Town". It's a phenomenal play, and I truly appreciate his wonderful writing. Being cast as such a big part is extremely challenging, and very rewarding at the same time. I fully enjoy rehearsals and getting to know my fellow cast members. The cast of "Our Town" is relatively small, so it's nice to be able to get to know new people and make new friendships. I work closely with certain people - in particular those playing my husband, good friend (Mrs. Webb), and son. What's been really amazing is experiencing how a new director takes point. Ms. Bingham has worked closely with each of us and made it clear that we can go to her if we need any help character or play wise. As an actress, I find it very important to form a good connection with my director and receive good constructive criticism. I find that I make quite a few mistakes at the beginning of the process, but this only makes me want to improve more and more.
I am so very excited about this production and can't wait to continue learning more about "Our Town" and Mrs. Gibbs. However, learning lines has been a challenge. As I have quite a large role, I have quite a few lines and most of them aren't very problematic, but some of them give me a hard time. I'm sure I'll get the hang of it soon. I have break to run and memorize every line to perfection.
