Calling all Broadway Knight Theatre academians: The time has come for some serious tablework- and we're not talking about putting out plates and silverware, doing dishes, or storing left-overs in the fridge. We're definitely not talking about getting a wait-staff job at a restaurant, or playing a game of ping-pong or pool.
What we are talkiing about is: sitting around a table, eating Doritos and cake- do you smell what Joanie Shinn is cooking?-, drinking punch, and doing a read through of the winter play. What we are talking about is: establishing characters, intentions, subtexts, and motivations before any more Padawan Learners are permitted into the academy. What we are talking about is: discovering whether Brittany Yeo can still get in touch with her inner-five-year-old, Madison Bendistis is still a good mother, and Alex Messick has the physical strength to remove Mr. Bill Pepper from the stage.
Now Miss Allison Erskine might have you believe that tablework has something to do with working at Grotto's Grand Slam in Lewes until you can pay your college tuition and buy your own car. But don't you believe it! Tablework is really about taking the next step in your theatrical training.
