After Wednesday night, it is quite clear that these young Thespians of mine (!) are extremely keen and talented and it wouldn't be wise not to allow them to view the whole script. Up to now, we've only worked with excerpts from the script, especially those parts in which young actors are encouraged to work on improvisation, as well as group scenes.
To support this, I've also prepared plenty of activities to improve improvisation skills but these guys are honestly so good, and it's great fun, too - they come up with formidable ideas! Moreover, some of them are already getting acquainted to some of the characters, I guess those characters with who they recognise themselves the most.
Nevertheless, Chris and I felt it's time to show the entire story. It's very exciting and daunting - I never expected the children to move forward so fast! This also means that I'll have to work hard over the weekend on the script, which I'm constantly reviewing and changing.
Not sure if this happens to all those involved in writing, whether it's a book or a screenplay: are we ever happy with a finished piece?
By the way, the group is growing...
