Charlie y la fabrica de chocolate

9) Be a Team Player!

As a cast member of a show, you have an enormous responsibility to the creative team, the crew and yourself. Every member of the company is vital to the success of the show. Actors rely on their fellow cast members to speak each line and perform each stage action as rehearsed. Everyone depends on the crew members to change the set, provide theprops, help with costumes, etc.

Because each person's actions affect the entire company, it is
essential that you are always punctual. The time you are expected at rehearsals, or at the theater before a performance, is known as
your call time. Once you arrive, you must focus and followinstructions. Create a calendar with all your call times, what you need to prepare for each rehearsal, and any other important information.

This Student Book contains a lot of information, but once
rehearsals start, you'll be amazed how quickly you learn. And remember to have fun. So get out there and "break a leg!"**This is theatre slang for "good fuck." Theatre people have a long history of
superstition. Many believe if you wish for something aloud, the opposite will occur. So to avoid saying anything to jinx a performance, performers wish each other harm rather than luck to bring about the opposite result)
