Charlie Rehearsal

I just got out of a rehearsal for another scene I am in for 365. This one is directed by Charlie and its called "Clapper". I play a crotchety old man. The scene is based around this society where everyone is a "clapper" and there is one young man who does not want to conform. In this scene he is telling his parents this. As the Grandpop I have three lines in this one. They are "Huh?", "Masturbation" and "I had a rifle with a laser sight thingamajiggy. I drew a chalkline 4 times, making the shape of a box, told yer father to stand in the box and dared him to step out". Playing an old man in a rocking chair with a gun should be an interesting experience, if only for two minutes. Two of my fellow actors in this scene are quite experienced and have been in main-stage shows already. One of them seems very new to acting and yet quite willing to lend his opinion. The blocking in this scene should be cool because we are going to have the rest of a the cast form a mob of people clapping around us. Charlie's directing style is very different than Sophie's. Charlie likes to discuss possible ideas and largely leave the characterization up to us while Sophie throws out a lot of different characterization ideas and lets us try them out. I have another rehearsal tonight at 8:00 with Maddie whom I have not worked with yet.
