A smart actor learns from her mistakes, an intelligent actor learns from someone else's. Thanks to a field trip to Possum Point Players dress rehearsal of "Around the World in Eighty Days," the Broadway Knights Theatre Academy students had a chance to do both.
With brains in our heads and feet in our shoes, we trekked the quarter mile to the theater to watch the show. To ensure an educational experience, Yoda told us to practice writing director's notes, answering the query, "What went right and what went wrong?"- a question we academy students face under his tutelage multiple times, each day.
Did we mention that Delaware is experiencing a drought? The only conclusion we could draw from the downpour that greeted us when the show ended and we had to return to the school on foot, was that the god of the theater, Dionysus, preferred that Yoda had told us to leave our notebooks at the school!
