Q: How were you first introduced to Unrehearsed Shakespeare?
CHARLIE: I saw a production of Julius Caesar, and then Henry V.

Q: How does Unrehearsed differ from other acting experiences for you?
CHARLIE: Huge risks don’t seem so huge, because if you’re not doing something drastic, what are you doing?

Q: What (if anything) is your biggest challenge so far with this technique?
CHARLIE: The hardest part of the technique is keeping the pace up, while reading lines and remembering all of the rules and notes. So, pacing.

Q: One of the defining attributes of Unrehearsed is its lack of a Fourth Wall. How do you feel about this? How does it affect your work and/or prep?
CHARLIE: I adore the lack of a fourth wall. The words, and actors, literally get to reach out and touch the audience, so the audience becomes a part of the experience rather than a passive observer.

Q: What is the most exciting thing about As You Like It?
CHARLIE: The effect of the woods on everyone is pretty great. Even the high born speak prose until they enter the woods.

Q: Favorite Shakespeare Character? And/or: Favorite role to date
CHARLIE: The Fool in King Lear.

Come fool around with Charlie!
