I just got back from Scene Study class. Tonight was the sixth and final time my scene partner and I performed our scene for the class, from Neil Simon's The Star-Spangled Girl.
(A snippet I played Norman: )
ANDY: What did she do, threaten to call the police?
NORMAN: She did not threaten to call the police!
ANDY: What did she do?
NORMAN: (Pause.) She called the police. They took me away in a patrol car.
It was our best run-through by a large margin. We got a lot of laughter, and many compliments from the other actors. Even our teacher (who rarely compliments) said we did a "great job". It's all going straight to my head, of course.
What was a little appalling was that I found myself trying not to smile when the audience laughed. Perhaps I belong in the Jerry Seinfeld school of acting.
