Xuanyue and several others are trapped in a painting. Production has chosen to show it in expected ways; distant things are painted like an old school background set. But other things are more subtle; any character Xuanyue interacts with acts like a cartoon figure with limited and exagerated reactions. Must have been fun to execute!
This is backstage at the Civic Theatre of Greater Lafayette; tonight is dress rehearsal for the play festival this weekend. Come see me perform in one play and as playwright for another. W00t!
How bad is my British accent? Find out on Friday!

“Who are you when you stop outsourcing your self-definition?”
A provocative question, to answer as a person, and also as an actor. (Who we are and who we are as an actor may have little overlap.)
I did not encounter this question today the way Kelly Rook Daly did, but I’m glad I did.

1. Man in photograph, Rodney Dangerfield, is not telling lies. He is not a liar.
2. #DonaldTrumpNotTellingLies Donald Trump is not telling lies! Trump is not a liar! Trump is #acting for We The People, Trump is entertaining app users who crave fiction on meme devices.
1. This man is not telling lies, it is called #Acting and he is an #Actor playing a character
2. This man is not a lair for creating #entertainment that audiences crave
3. USA #WePeople can not resist charming actors. Donald Trump isn't a lair. Trump is #fiction storyteller.
"For me, our job as artists is to serve the story, serve the director, and serve the fellow actors. And if you do that, by osmosis you’re serving yourself because you’ll get the best out of yourself."

"You cannot try to 'get the job'. Just go in there, have some fun and do your version of that part. 'This is what I'm selling. If you want to buy it, that's cool. Have some adjustments for me? That's fine, I'll make some adjustments, but this is basically what I want to do.' THAT'S the attitude, sort of 'f*ck it' attitude. Not f*ck you...but, f*ck it."

"If you get a chance to act in a room that somebody else has paid rent for, then you're given a free chance to practice your craft."
