Comments on: Hell Week…. http://mountainshakes.org/blog/2008/07/01/hell-week/ Rehearsal, play and production stories Tue, 06 Jan 2009 12:38:06 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: David Stenstrom http://mountainshakes.org/blog/2008/07/01/hell-week/#comment-30 David Stenstrom Wed, 09 Jul 2008 15:13:56 +0000 http://mountainshakes.org/blog/2008/07/01/hell-week/#comment-30 The process of putting a show together is different for each actor. Here in Pine Mountain and the 'Mountainshakes.org', we are surrounded by mountains, Jeffrey pines, streams and quiet glens. Though there is much wildlife up here in Pine Mountain, I have, on occasion, seen the elusive, inward looking, yet entertaining Thespian, traipsing the hills and valleys, talking and gesticulating to him/herself with brows knitted and eyes fiery in concentration. The process of learning of a character's reactions and finding the ins and outs of that character are wonderful, tedious, frightening and illuminating with the discovery of commonalities betwee character and actor so interesting and enlightening as to be otherworldly. I am entranced by the whole thing but, I wonder what the squirrels are saying about all of this? The process of putting a show together is different for each actor.

I am looking forward to seeing both shows.... I always like to think of Tech Week as Breakthrough Week… somehow, thinking of it that way (rather than Hell Week) makes it easier for me.
