Post your thoughts about specific character interactions, lines, actions and more in the play.

What stands out to you? What stands out to me is the relationship between Doris and Marissa
Why? because they seem to have been friends since they were kids, but they know nothing about each other.
What Acts or Scenes?In act 1 scene 2 and Act 2 scene 3
What lines? Actions? Interactions?
"MARISSA: Doris, you know I like Clem! How could you?

DORIS: God Marissa, this isn’t the middle ages. Two people can’t flirt?"

and

"MARISSA: It can’t be true! I’ve only dreamed of you!

DORIS: Go before I do something I regret!

MARISSA: Look at you, how can you know real pain? You’re a princess, all pride, no shame.

DORIS: You think that’s who I am?

MARISSA: I’ve known you since kindergarten. I know that’s who you are. You always got the boy, the clothes, and the fancy cars.

DORIS: You’re the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen, I’ve always looked up to you. You’ve always been tough, sharper than the rest; you’ve always known what to do. I’m a mess, I’m insecure, my confidence is fake, and I’m filth, far from pure.

MARISSA: How can you think this?"


(Aside from "be louder..." or "where does this go?") What constructive feedback do you have for actors, directors, managers, props, sets, etc. based on what you have seen?
