Exercise in Method Acting

With costumes complete and ready to go, who want's to take them off?  Well, we decided to combine some practice in method acting with an experiment in marketing.  We spent a couple of days taking our cast out amongst the public.  In each circumstance they were greeted with smiles, attention, questions, and even an instant fan that insisted on having his picture taken with the cast!  This was a great experience and one that left this director thinking up more possibilities for next years cast!  The cast received many compliments as to their acting abilities, but my favorite is when they were mistaken for actors from Disney!
Looks like the Prince of Whales has been captured while visiting Governor's State University!
Cast was invited on stage at GSU.
Suzanne and the Comtesse de Tourney.
Looking for their hero, the Scarlet Pimpernel!
Sir Percy takes his entourage shopping at Orland Mall, no doubt to find a new cravat for Chambertin, oh, he means Chauvelin.
Sir Percy is quite surprised to find young women dressed as young men, what a good idea for sneaking out of Paris!
Sir Percy's friends are dazzled by the floor show, but Marguerite is always looking for the Scarlet Pimpernel.
It is a great honor to have a picture taken with Sir Percy and Lady Blakeney, the most fashionable couple in England!
Sir Percy takes his friends out for tea.
Oh, my, it looks like the Pimpernel left his mark on Mistress Sally's cup!
Sir Percy has made his wife laugh!  I wonder if he remembers what he said?
Finger food keeps the clothing clean!
Now, Sir Percy and Lady Blakeney take a stroll along the street.
Such a warm afternoon, good thing we have such big beautiful fans.
Signorina Bosca enjoys the window shopping.
Suzanne de Tourney is a little nervous that Lambert has joined the party.
Armand brings up the rear of the party...
...no doubt to keep an eye on the French spy, Lambert.
Such a lovey day for a stroll, where should we go?
Mistress Sally leads the party to a near by park.
