Being the Evil Queen in Happily Whatever After has been quite a learning experience for me. The cast taught me so much and our Director Chris Berube has been such a wonderful teacher to me. I feel from every performance I learn how to be a better actress. How to have better timing, how to deliver my lines in a way that will entertain the audience better than the last time I performed.
When people ask me what is the best way to learn how to act, I will now say, "Improv first, then live theater". It teaches you how to dissect a script, how to hit your marks and do it naturally as if those words were your own.
Yes Margie Haber Studios is a wonderful school and I believe everyone should go there if they can afford it. Improv is the first and last skill you should master as an actor, but having a background in theater is something that everyone should have in order to be successful. I highly recommend you see Chris Berube's plays.
I will be the Evil Queen for 7 more weeks and then Im off on another project.
Another great thing about theatre is you can do tv and film by day and perform once a week on stage. Come and see me before I give my crown to someone else!
I'll post the schedule asap. Basically...
For the next three Tuesdays our show will be at 9:30pm. Then the last four Tuesdays it will be at 8pm. I'll post it for you so no worries! (My computer is down so Im posting from my cell)
Your Queen,
Malena
