Once up on a time I had a chance to spend some time deep in the woods and up over a hill, far away from the city, until it was dark to almost mid night. The best part was there were around thousand others with me. This my dear friends is American Players Theatre's Play in the Woods. I went there with my close friend and his family. It was sort of a picnic, we first packed up all the food and wine and drove for about an hour away from the city, spread out our stuff and had a nice snack time and hiked over a small hill to witness a play in the middle of the forest, amazing!! Isnt it? The play was performed by some very professional artists and I dint get bored for almost 2 hrs, the play time. I like plays for the fact that there are no retakes for the entire screen/stage time which makes it that much more challenging for artists. Occasionally I observed around just to see the wonderful setting that was made in the middle of the thick green forest surrounded by huge trees. As it became dark the ambiance of the forest was even more wonderful. A definite thing to see in summer if you are in/near Madison.
I agree with you "the fact that there are no retakes for the entire screen/stage time which makes it that much more challenging for artists."
ReplyDeleteNo wonder great actors were once great stage artists..,
Applies to all professions I believe: Unless you master the basics, how can you master the bigger challenges...
