Abstract
Finding the correct acting style for any play is like a dinner with prospective in-laws. You spend your time finding the right tone, observing the etiquette of the household, exploring the boundaries of conversation topics, looking for the moments of shared compassion, and examining what makes them laugh, and all the while, your IM is racing to see if you fit in. Do they like me? Have I gone too far? Did I just lose them? Should I share that story? And the biggest question—are we compatible?
