Q: Do you have to be in school to be able to act?

A: Anyone can act! Even you!

You need the discipline to hone your craft, the passion to pursue your dream, the ability to project your emotions and the courage to be vulnerable.

Above all else, you need to believe in yourself.

Of course, you also need to be attractive. That one's pretty obvious. People - complete strangers with awful, back-breaking jobs and loveless marriages and terrible, bitter lives filled with compromise and regret and heartbreak - will look at you, for hours on end, watching your lips move and your eyes dance and your face break into a smile. The last thing they want to see is someone who looks like them.

What I'm trying to say is that we're going in a different direction for the role of Romeo. We're looking for someone the ladies in the audience want to sleep with, not press charges against.

I'm sure we can find something for you. Every play needs trees.
