Director\u2019s Notes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Are You In Character?
\nMethod Acting?
\nPretending that
\nThe You<\/p>\n

Who Procrastinates
\nwith Great Proclivity,<\/p>\n

Who Imagines that
\nLaziness Is the Actual
\nLay of Your Soul,<\/p>\n

Who Fears that
\nYour Love of
\nSolitude and
\nSavored Social
\nIneptitude<\/p>\n

Are Actually
\nSigns of the Sin of
\nSolipsistic Narcissism?<\/p>\n

Are You Pretending
\nThat\u2019s You?<\/p>\n

Sometimes I Am.<\/p>\n

But I\u2019m Hearing from
\nThe Director –<\/p>\n

Who Assures Me
\nThat I\u2019ll Learn My
\nSoul Craft
\nby Playing
\nMany Roles –<\/p>\n

That I\u2019ve Always Been
\nFree
\nto Write
\nMy Own Script,<\/p>\n

Perhaps with
\nLines of Love
\nOvercoming Fear
\nin The Third Act,<\/p>\n

But Whoever
\nI Am
\nPlaying,<\/p>\n

I Must Remember:<\/p>\n

I Am
\nAlways
\nThe Director\u2019s
\nBeloved Child.<\/p>\n
