Today was Monday, which meant it was our acting day. For the first half of class we talked about the differences between For-Profit theater and Non-Profit theater. For-Profit theater is Broadway and Off- Broadway shows that are funded by investors. Non-Profit theaters are funded by donations and focus more on the art of theater rather than the money aspect. We also talked about the different stages of a show. A show first starts off as a script, then it is read, then is produced into some type of performance, then if it makes it past that it goes off Broadway, and then it goes on Broadway. I learned that the type of theater we will be doing will be Non- Profit. The second half of class I worked on my scene with Zari. I really got to focus more on creating my character and the objectives. We also are starting to make our character relationships a little more clear. I think it is coming a long a lot better all I need to do is work with Zari more in class and over e-mail.
