Zach Forster

Meeting with Rebecca revolutionized our scene! Okay, that might be a bit strong of word usage, but the dynamic is completely different now. Instead of contained anger, Adam is now very, vert, VERY expressive now- to the point of shrieking his guts out at Evelyn at one point. Finding that type of anger was difficult for Zach at first, but with each run through he managed to get closer to right level. The internal conflict he had been playing before is completely gone- Adam is pissed beyond all rationality so all of the lines are tinged with anger and hatred and Evelyn's consistent dismissal of Adam's feelings only make him angrier. The scene definitely feels better now and really has that edge the playwright probably envisioned for the scene. We feel very prepared for the final, especially given this new dynamic that adds a lot more to work with for both Adam and Evelyn and makes the scene more interesting to watch. Each run through felt more and more grounded and hopefully for the final, we'll be at our most grounded and knock this bad boy outta the park! We still have 2 more days to really hammer-in the grounding, solidify the new blocking, and work on really listening to the other person instead of just waiting for our next line. But we're gonna get there- no doubt about it. 

Nikki and Zach, signing off!
