I might never again feel guilty or cranky about a messy four-hour technical rehearsal in community theater. Professor Hébert:
Many actors in the theatre dislike tech: it can be long, boring, and tedious beyond all description. It can literally take hours for the first cues to be written and executed, causing one to run outside, rend one's garments and cry to the heavens "why have you forsaken us?!" In some theatres, you are called for two 10-out-of-12 days, when you work 10 out of the 12 hours called. The 2 hours in the middle are for actors to eat, sleep etc. Usually, the designers, director and production staff just stay and work through the break.

Seen through Filmfest DC: Winter Solstice, writer/director Josh Sternfeld's debut, is a serviceable family drama about a widower landscape artisan (Anthony LaPaglia) and his two post-adolescent sons. The narrative seems to wander in its focus, and there are some technical imperfections to lend indie cred, but the acting performances are solid. Allison Janney lets us know that there's a lot going on that her character, the neighborly jeweler house-sitter Molly, does not express in words. posted: 10:51:12 PM |
