well shit, I audited just for fun for this play, and look where I am now...

The opening night is TONIGHT and I have never, ever been on a stage before, and now I have to perform for 700 people, it's completely sold out.

And not just tonight. Also tomorrow and the Day after tomorrow.
I'm really really exited (and scared)

Anybody here ever been in a play?

I used to be into theatre, although I did a lot more improv than anything. Break a leg though.

Ah man, I love Hamlet. Of the four or five of Shakespeare's that I've read, it's my favorite.

I've only been in a few school plays, I'd much rather be in a movie or TV show, because it's less pressure, and its something I'd like to try and do. Plays, whilst being a pretty cool thing to do, aren't my ideas of entertainment. I hope you do well though, it seems like it'll be a huge hit.

I study Theatre Studies and I've got the acting bug a bit myself too. The secret really is to be relaxed on-stage. Also knowing the perfect way to deliver every line for maximum emotional impact. But mainly on-stage relaxation.

Wear a jacket. When I went and saw the film it looked like it got kind of chilly

Best of luck to you!

What part do you play?

Like Earetish said even though it seems really difficult relaxation is your key to performing well.

Just do it. If you suck, oh well. Its their fault for putting someone who cant act. No ones going to hate you anymore than they already do.

Hell, the worst I've done is deck myself out like a pimp (I looked more like a seedy crack-dealer) and perform 'P.I.M.P.' in front of a couple of hundred other students, as well as parents...
