A good technical crew can make even the bad actor look great. Their work is so thankful but so rewarding to them and to the audiences that see it…they are critical to making a great show great. Sometimes you hit a trifecta with an actor and they either came from a technical background or like doing both for different shows. This, we call someone as being “Bitectual”. We talk bout our own technical experiences as well as a local Denver man who is one of the best lighting guys around.

If you aren’t a method actor, what kind of actor are you? Laurence Olivier famously said to method actor Dustin Hoffmen “Why don’t you try acting?”. He is referring to what is commonly known as Classical acting. Classical acting is an umbrella term describing the philosophy of acting that integrations many techniques, including some that stem from method acting. We talk about these techniques, demonstrate some of them, and have a few laughs along the way. No Kevins Quiz Corner this episode because for the last couple we feel we have cheated you out of what our core foundational believe is about theatre. our PROCESS. we HAD to include it this time.

What is “Method Acting” a.k.a. “The Method”? Some say it’s for crazy people, some say it’s unnecessary if your a good actor, some say, it’s realism and how real relatable characters are successfully brought to life….Whatever your opinion or "method" is, we’re going to dive in and talk about it, debate it and try to get to the core of it. Maybe you’ll appreciate it more. Maybe less.
