Next Monday I start rehearsals for Scapin with New Player's Theatre. I'll be spending the summer playing Zerbinette and also Regan in King Lear as the two plays are being presented in rep.
Bill Irwin and company in his adaptation of Moliere's Scapin.
While I am extremely excited to be playing both roles, I have to admit I'm a bit nervous for my first foray into repertory theatre. Luckily the plays are being helmed by two lovely directors whom I trust, and I couldn't be happier that they are trusting me as well.
Trever Nunn's King Lear featuring Sir Ian McKellen, Romola Garai, Frances Barber and Monica Dolan.
So now comes the digging. Research is one of my favorite parts about theatre, and I love to dissect my characters to find out what makes them tick (Nerd Alert: I sound like Sylar, don't I?). It's such an amazing feeling when your character sparks on stage fueled by the months of hard work and personalization you've put into making her. I sincerely hope that I'll be able to do these characters justice, and that you will come see the results!
