SO YOU ARE IN THEATER . . . LET’S SEE WHAT YOU KNOW

What is the purpose of theater?

Who said “All the world’s a stage”? Not this guy. He can’t even say his name without slurring his speech. Why do you think he was cast as a character who only says three words?

An actor’s main focus must be on the character’s Emotions Objectives Blocking Lines Seems like the only reason to do anything

An actor’s change of character tactics is based on Rehearsal Decisions Stage Directions Other Character’s Reactions Audience Responses STILL BACON!

The key to improvisation is based on the concept of Yes, And… Always Be Funny Unconnected Ideas Thoroughly Prepared Ideas No picture. I’m lame. Shut up. K. THX. BYE.

Who created the modern system for acting? Sanford Meisner Stella Adler Constantin Stanislavski Anton Chekov Destroyer of all that is good!

The base of strong vocal capabilities is Volume Diction Breath Control Nasality

The strongest position on stage is Up Stage Right Down Stage Center Center Stage Stage Left

What is blocking?

Who is considered, by tradition, to be the first actor? Thespis Sophocles Euripides Aeschylus Can’t even be considered a human being.
