Going with the Flow

"Don't laugh at a youth for his affectations; he is only trying on one face after another to find his own." -Logan Pearsall Smith

Truth in drama is forever elusive. You never quite find it but the search for it is compulsive. The search is clearly what drives the endeavour. The search is your task. More often than not you stumble upon the truth in the dark, colliding with it or just glimpsing an image or a shape which seems to correspond to the truth, often without realising that you have done so. But the real truth is that there never is any such thing as one truth to be found in dramatic art. There are many. These truths challenge each other, recoil from each other, reflect each other, ignore each other, tease each other, are blind to each other. Sometimes you feel you have the truth of a moment in your hand, then it slips through your fingers and is lost. - Harold Pinter

Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll


So I'm in this show. And It's pretty fantastic I gotta be honest with you. Our cast is super talented and extremely cohesive. Our production team is awesome and this show is challenging me in ways I have not experienced before. At least not to this degree. I've done short scenes and such but nothing quite with this range of emotion and fantastic character development. I love my character, Warren. It just so fascinating to get into his head, to figure out why he does the kind of things he does. Mostly because he's really not like me at all. Thats what I love most about acting, the opportunity to become someone else, to act in ways you would never act in real life. That's exciting kids. That's a rush.

This is our Youth plays at the Presentation House Theatre in North Van, Wednesday-Saturday from August 16th-September 2nd. Check it out. You'll like it.
