Your Daily Digest: Snug
Performing in Bug in a Rug is still the most rewarding part of theatre for me. The director knows what she wants, but gives the actors plenty of room to play. The actors take that space to play with one another, while keeping their eyes on the ultimate goal of entertaining kids while making a lesson that does not preach, but appeals to the better nature even in the sociopathy of pre-adolescence. The audiences appreciate the work on all the appropriate levels. The pay exceeds most professional acting standards, excluding union work.
Most of all, I like it. I genuinely enjoy my time spent in that company. I will do it until I can’t.
