Whoa...wayyyyy too fast. My director would have choked us to death. Otherwise good.

[zuccokirk]

Hahaha Its all about your Director aye! Thanks for watching

[corinaries]

i am in this play as josie kilbride we had to change her age to 9 years old cause i dont look 7

im confused how to act when hester comes in in the wedding scene i dont know if i should cry be embarrassed r be angry? any help?

[zuccokirk]

Gosh thats a gd question. You shld definately talk with your Director about it. I'm not sure if you'll like my answer but I think mayb wrking out hw Josie views her wrld and her relationships to the people around her..particularly Hester. Give sum thot to their history together? 9yr olds r smart and she may have become a little desensitized to her mums behaviour?

Whats Josies attitude the nxt time we see her? That might give you a clue? Let me know how it goes and break a leg

I play Josie in this play. How important is she?

[greekbee3]

Hey, my university will be doing this play and I'm wondering what you did about Josie's songs. Did you make your own song out of it or is there one out there?

[terafrayne111]

I think you should be happy to see your mother. She never really understands the details of everything that is happening. Whenever she is presented she is playful, honest, and kind. Everyone in the play is angry and hurt and out of control. Josie, in her childlike innocence, is always a positive source of energy. She has yet to understand how cruel the world is or can be.

I also played josie Kilbride last year. its a really great part! At this point i acted quite ahocked, but mainly upset & i cried. Josie would be devastated because she really wants her mum and dad to get back together and she can't stand to see her mum being discarded and hated by everybody - remeber she offers to leave with her mum, so she is obviously desperate to help. Anyway...its brilliant & i hope it goes well!!!!!

We're doing the same scene right now, and I was wondering If I should give you some advice? Joise loved her mother, like how Hester loved Joise Swane, her mother. Joise wants to be with her mother at the wedding beecause she missed her not being there. Suggest to the rest of your cast to holdd you back form the shoulders when you go to her. Maybe ask Monica or Caralione to hold you in their arms while to cry softly form all the stress going around. Then again... you are 9

Oh thats awesome! It's an amazing play.

I'd love to see a scene if you ever get the

chance to post something.

Congratulations again..I'm rapted it was so well received!
