The Perfect Scene

Posted by Cliff Chamberlain.

Yesterday a cast mate and I got this note at the beginning of rehearsal:

“Your scene yesterday was perfect. You nailed it. Don’t ever do it differently. Great work.”

It may be one of the best notes I’ve ever been given.
Totally made my day.

Then we did a run of the play.

And I promptly went and ruined the aforementioned scene by trying way too hard to do exactly what I had done the day before.

Being a director must be exasperating.
