IT'S THEATER PEOPLE. Not film. The acting has to be flamboyant. Have you ever seen the first movies? Those characters were played by theater actors. It took a while before people realized the power of the camera as a medium between the actor and the viewer. The distance between the stage and the audience causes people to have to act more emphatic.
@FuckItSnoopy Go watch a professional production of a Chekhov play and try saying that again. Distance should not make an actor play to the audience unless he's purposely trying to be presentational. Otherwise, within the boundaries of the play, an actor should be representational with the character. Acting in theatre is not about waving your arms so people see you. It's about bringing the truth of a character up there. If the character itself is bigger than life, then so will the actor.

You guys did a grat job, but I think Lorenzo Miller is wrong dressed. He's looking like Woody Allen in our play.I think, caused on the fact that i played Woody & Lorenzo, that that Lorenzo is an arrogant person in a white suit and a golden chain.
yeah by the end end after reading some coments i noticed that. Me and my friend are going from like halfway down page 10 before he speaks t the audience and then picking back up with Trichninosis and skipping all of doris' lines.
I did the opening of "God" for a duet acting scene for the International Thespian Society, The character of Actor was played by a girl (me) and writer was played by a guy. It was a load of fun and we ended up earning a superior for it :)
While figuring out how to play the character I watched this clip, and it did help me alot.
Of course, our version was very different, but still it was cool to see how others did it.
I squirmed for 2 minutes then turned this video off. Hope the 'actors' have real jobs. Not that I could do any better, but at least I know what I can't do, unlike them.
well, i think its more of a "you had to be there" thing. we really changed a lot of the script to pertain to the town we were in and what was going on. we used a lot of non-actors to put on a great play and had a lot of fun. you're entitled to your opinion certainly, but for what we were doing, i think we did a great job.

Overacting a lot, and too much use of the hands. Also some uncomfortable pauses.

Haha, actually, that part was because the actor (who was actually the "writer") messed up on his lines.

Great play... but uh... the acting ain't so hot. I did this show last year in high school (I'm the guy in green) and we did soooo much better.
They're playing the comedy too much - the truth is funnier.
