<\/div>\n
Q: How were you first introduced to Unrehearsed Shakespeare?<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n
KEVIN: I have several friends involved with the company, and after seeing them talk about it on Facebook, I saw Unrehearsed’s Comedy of Errors<\/i>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Q: How does Unrehearsed differ from other acting experiences for you?<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n
KEVIN: Every second you’re onstage, you have to be 100% invested in what’s happening.\u00a0 In other shows you should<\/i>\u00a0be, in this one you have<\/i>\u00a0to be.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Q: What is your biggest challenge so far with this technique?<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n
KEVIN: While going through my track, I’ll come to a line and think, “How am I going to pantomime that?<\/i>” \u00a0Then I’ll figure it out.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Q: One of the defining attributes of Unrehearsed is its lack of a Fourth Wall. How do you feel about this? How does it affect your work and\/or prep?<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n
KEVIN: I’m a fan of Fourth Wall breaks, so not having one at all is pretty exciting.\u00a0 While going over my track, I’m always looking for opportunities to play with that.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Q: What (do you think) is the most exciting thing about As You Like It?<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n
KEVIN: I really like all of the characters.\u00a0 They’re all so unique, and I love watching the way they interact with each other.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Q: Favorite Shakespeare Character?<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n
KEVIN: I have to say Iago. \u00a0Othello<\/i>\u00a0was my first real exposure to Shakespeare, and I’ve just been really drawn to him.<\/div>\n
