Foote Summer Theater: Behind the Scenes
Being brand new to theater, I have not scratched the surface of what it has to offer. But, as a new actor I immediately appreciate the consistency of the work-to-result ratio while learning the scenes. The cumulative process of learning this play and the creative and open-minded rehearsals made it an enjoyable experience. I felt like I was able to stylize my characters and experiment with the intentions of words given. Overall, the fact that you get exactly what you put into theater and how it never cheats out on you, is what I admire most about it. Ari, ninth grade
