It investigates how it forces people to change when they may not want to spiritually and emotionally. It illustrates the way in which friends and family are involved in the decision process and how it touches everyone personally. It exams the loss involved in moving from a long-established home and neighborhood. It demonstrates the void downsizing can create in other people’s lives. It also speaks to the way it such a change can cause conflict and resentment in a long-standing marital relationship. THE DOWNSIDE is about more than a garage sale and moving to an apartment.

TESTIMONIALS: “Bill’suncanny genius is knowing how the actor and the play can work together like aSwiss watch.” William Mastrosimone,playwright. “For severalyears, I’ve only been partially able to articulate, or utilize, what Bill’sbook, and his teachings have brought right out into the middle of things, whereI have begun to believe they belong, and with blazing clarity. Austin Pendleton, actor, director,playwright & master teacher. “I loveworking with Bill in his ACTING BY MISTAKE workshops. I’ve been taking hisworkshops for over two years now. He gets us to ‘connect’ with the character inan organic way. He helps us allay the normal fears we have as actors, and ourneed to get it ‘right’, by creating a playful process in which we focus more onthe character’s experience than getting the exact words of the text correct inthe rehearsal process. That is so freeing. I’m feeling much more confident nowin how I approach a character and trust that organic process of developing acharacter.” John Sannuto, Chair, TheatreDepartment, Long Island university.
