Kevin Johnson is an Apprentice having his debut performance in As You Like It. He is also currently acting in The Music Man Jr. with Ups For Downs, and is a frequent performer with EDGE Theatre.Q: How were you first introduced to Unrehearsed Shakespeare?
KEVIN: I have several friends involved with the company, and after seeing them talk about it on Facebook, I saw Unrehearsed’s Comedy of Errors.
Q: How does Unrehearsed differ from other acting experiences for you?
KEVIN: Every second you’re onstage, you have to be 100% invested in what’s happening. In other shows you should be, in this one you have to be.
Q: What is your biggest challenge so far with this technique?
KEVIN: While going through my track, I’ll come to a line and think, “How am I going to pantomime that?” Then I’ll figure it out.
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?
KEVIN: I’m a fan of Fourth Wall breaks, so not having one at all is pretty exciting. While going over my track, I’m always looking for opportunities to play with that.
Q: What (do you think) is the most exciting thing about As You Like It?
KEVIN: I really like all of the characters. They’re all so unique, and I love watching the way they interact with each other.
Q: Favorite Shakespeare Character?
KEVIN: I have to say Iago. Othello was my first real exposure to Shakespeare, and I’ve just been really drawn to him.
