[NEohioPAL] Theatre: An Actor's Medium

[Heads Up Productions]

A NEW blog post by Artistic Director Benjamin Rexroad about Heads Up

The actors come to rehearsal memorized for whatever scene we’re  
working on that day.  I give the actors a list (on a yellow sheet of  
paper) of things they need to include in that scene (the color purple,
