How to Steal the Scene, Even though Unconscious...., April 6, 2002
Reviewer:Debra A. Burrell (Norfolk, VA USA) - See all my reviews
This tome is full of useful information for the coarse actor, including "How to Steal the Scene, Even though Unconscious," "How to be a mere Spear-Carrier, and still ruin a scene," "Basic Makeup Tips for the Coarse Actor," and the useful diagram on set building "The Human Cleat." Anyone who's ever been in a performance of "Arsenic and Old Lace" will appreciate this book -- as will anyone who's ever sat through the show. (Not that I'm slamming "Arsenic and Old Lace," I think it holds up remarkably well.) Should be required reading in all theatre coarses. Oops, I mean courses...

Um, you do know you're been bantering with the best Teddy Roosevelt to grace the Old Lace stage in thirty years, and that our own dear Not Afraid is a descendent of the real Brewsters upon whom the screwball play is based, do you not???



And somehow I read it right when Nirvanaman first posted it ... but when lashbear quoted:

I read it as:

We would also need about 3,000 - 5,000 sq. foot woodworking shop (I know I am not the only LoT'er to whom this would be of interest). Sliding table saw, dual compound miter saw, lathes (both large and midi), wide-belt sander, large and small band saws, large radial-arm saw, large glue-up area with a gazillion clamps, enclosed spray booth with fume recovery, centralized vacuum recovery and collection (for all the saw dust), two router tables, and of course every conceivable hand-tool known to man.

I just got a little turned on. I've got some hand tools I can contribute.

We will also need a metal working shop - welders, cutters, CAD/CAM machines, quick prototyping machines, bead blasters, tumblers, pounders, etc...

Must have vocal studio. With soundproofed rooms, so I can work on the high notes.

...And Dancing Waters.
