I play Peggy in this play right now and let me tell you! The emotion that this Peggy showed was really spectacular. I wish I could do this... I am going to have to work on it a lot... And Mary seemed to almost have a hold on her character, but she didn't seem mean enough. She is vicious, but it only seems as if she is a harmless snob in this. Evelyn you did well too. Keep up the good work guys! And good luck!
Speaking from a person who did this scene last year, I feel that this scene was too rushed and there should be more pauses and more reactions. When Peggy says, " I won't, I won't I won't" (I think this is how the lines goes, there should have been more stage combat and still TAKE YOUR TIME!
Mary- Everything you say does not have to be a question. Don't end each sentence on a high pitch,
Evelyn- everyhting your character says is not the word of God. don't make it that way. also remember you are #2. you have power over Peggy.
Peggy- the emotion that the end was great. but there has to be a build.
mary- don't push them so much before the end of the scene. try looking out when saying your father killed himself and almost say it with an "evil smile"
Thanks so much! This is all really good advice! Unfortunately, the girl who played Evelyn didn't know that aspect of the character because we only did this one scene. Next time we'll research our characters more carefully!
this is amazing! i don't know what you're talking about, theatrelover559. These are very talented people! definately, and i want to see this play of yours as well. *raises eyebrows*
well sorry, I realize know that I could have stated my comment better, but they do need to work on their drama skills. I'm sorry I shouldn't have boasted so much
no- they don't have much feeling-sure they have emphasis on certain parts(there's a difference), but they could project more, have more energy, draw more from natural feelings, act instead show emotion- yes there's a difference!,
work off of eachother, and just really feel it- like if someone were to stop Mary and Peggy while Mary was grabbing her arm, Peggy shouldn't be able to drop out of character immediately, maybe take a second, a deep breath to get ot of character. And my friends who played Mary and Evelyn in this scene with me don't want to be on youtube- and I completely understand. Do YOU all jump on people this badly every time someone gives criticism???
Im going to play Peggy in this play, i'm so excited. good job here though

as I said before: I thought my performance was on youtube but I can't find it, and if I do find it, I'll let you know
sorry for the inconvience,
and besides you wouldn't say that to someone who complemented this video. you're just upset that I don't think they did too well.
I was giving criticism which everyone posting their videos on youtube should be ready for

and besides it's not like I was enough of a jerk to just say, "this sucks!"- it doesn't suck, that was just an example.
