Even more pictures

I know, I know.  Two posts worth of pictures of small towns, churches, homes, and Oklahoma.  Why oh why post more?

I think pictures can be a great way to get into a character and into the world of a show.  They can give us an idea of the kinds of things our characters might see from day to day.  They can help us better visualize and imagine the places where our scenes occur.  Does this church look like the one we attend?  Is this our high school hallway?  Is this what the Burger Blast might look like?  Photographs and pictures can help us think about and answer these questions.

But, everyone is different.  For some actors, pictures are effective.  For others, music.  Maybe listening to the dialects helps.  As we continue into rehearsals, think about what helps you get into character, what helps you understand these characters, and what helps you find your Bomont identity.
