What to do with Bio Notes Handout Coming To Your Les Mis Neighborhood!

New Thoughts  *  Objectives  *  Breaking It Down

Hi Fellow Cast Mates,
You will be receiving a  "Character Notes" handout at a rehearsal soon.  Do not put in your recycle bin :-)
Read,
Digest
And
Cogitate
on the ideas/questions on the sheets.  As ideas are seeded in your minds for your Les Mis character(s),
write them down  on the "Bio Notes" sheet.  A bit at a time . . .

The two handouts you will receive go together:  i.e. What is an "objective"?  The definition, yes, is in the handout for easy reference...  This will take time and some thought. 

What we will end up with is a village of folks who relate to one another other realistically - with family ties, real names, real stories.  We'll share this stuff as we roll along.  Be creative, have fun.  Some of you have already started!  Yay!! (Bless you)

This is a big musical with many complications and details.   This bio work will not only help us appear as better "actors" (this works!)  but will give us purpose and a special identity in this show.

Read. 
Think. 
Write. 
(A copy will be sent to your e-mail soon - if you'd rather respond  thru e-mail)

DEADLINE IS October 1st.  
Have fun (isn't that why we do theater?)

Your Faithful Acting Coach,
Chrissie (Les Mis name:  Violet)
