That was a very intense experience: meeting your fellow actors / director / playwright at 7 pm; spending a couple of hours getting to know each other; receiving a script at 9 am the following morning; and, performing in front of a paying audience at 7 pm the same evening. Admittedly, it was a short play (about 12 minutes in total), but learning the lines, and working with the director and other actors to develop blocking, character and relationships, all in about nine hours (we did stop and eat a couple of times) was crazy. 🙂
