Warning: High drama very personal big stakes episode!!
Great week for us seeing theater…
We both saw PRE-EXISTING CONDITION Now up at The Connelly, directed by Maria Dizzia and written by Marin Ireland.  It’s a wild play.  We Discuss.
Ryan saw Joey Merlo’s MIDNIGHT COLESLAW running at The Tank till June 23rd, and David saw INVASIVE SPECIES at The Vineyard.  We get into it baby.
Then…
David works through a big insecure, kinda resentful acting related breakdown :(
Ryan and David debate what playing a character means and how to do it.
And the dynamics of working through acting blocks while teaching classes filled with terrific actors. 
Ryan discusses his expectations and hopes vs outcomes with The Seagull and what it means for his career and Adult Film going forward. 
Also.  Do you guys know who Mike Alfreds is?
Mark Rylance says “If I was allowed to train again to be an actor, but I was only allowed one teacher, it would have to be Mike Alfreds.”
Ps.  He’s Michelle William’s coach too. 
Perhaps this is worth investigating hmmm?
Enjoy :)
