I had the absolute pleasure of watching the screenplay read throughs at
theREP's NEXT ACT! New Play Summit (at Capital Repertory Theatre’s and Proctors) as I photographed them on stage.
It was my first time seeing all that goes on behind the scenes of plays and shows. I was blown away by the local talent and diversity of the actors and actresses.
They have to modulate their voices, develop a character just from words on a page they have never seen before, learn to interact with the other cast members, stand for hours on stage, deal with the bright spot lights and more! It completely opened my eyes to all that is involved and I am thrilled to see where these actors/actresses go with their careers! I have no doubt I will see some on the big screens someday!
