Abstract

As an actor about to enter the professional world, it is important for me to understand all of the workings of a theatrical production. It is imperative for an artist to tell a story through his or her work that is applicable and relevant to their target audience. Therefore, I produced and acted in a full length, two-person play, Collected Stories by Donald Margulies. The story focuses on the relationship between a student and a professor in a college campus setting. As it unfolds, the themes of loyalty, ethics and friendship are dissected and the characters values are brought into question. With the assistance of a small, talented group of people, I am delighted to have brought this brilliant script to life.
