Faith and theater

<p>I agree with soozievt… I am a Christian Musical Theater Major… currently a sophomore… before this year I had never said a swear word, and absolutely refused to… but then I was assigned scene work that had language. It was a battle for me in the beginning… but I realized that this is MY CHARACTER, NOT me. I am living as my character, but I personally do not share the same beliefs and morals as my character. I find connections between myself and the character, and put myself in her world and emotions. Even though I have said every bad word in the book now in different scenes and songs, I am still the same girl with the same strong faith, and I personally do not say these words unless I have to in a scene… Actors need to be able to do edgey material, be okay with it, realize that these are not their personal words/ beliefs, and in the end love themself and know that everything is going to be okay.</p>
