THE ACTING COMPONENT.

                      Beacon Charter High School for the Arts

                               production of Don't Drink the Water.

                                                (Sister Drobney) 

Being cast in Don't Drink the Water was an excellent experience for me. I was able to challenge myself in ways that I haven't had an oppertunity to in the past. For example: I have never taken on being a nun - and this was no ordinary nun. I was able to do some serious character development searching.  I found that it was easier than I thought to take this character and run with her. From mannerisms, to vocal work, to changing the way I approached the other actors, to intention after intention - there was never a shortage of things to work on. In the end I felt as if I had succeeded in creating a character that was both unique and memorable.
