*** YOUR MESSAGE ***

This is aimed at all of you actors out there.  I'm about to return to the
stage for the first time since high school, and I'm understandably nervous.
Being onstage is somewhat different from being in the booth where you can
correct most mistakes quietly.  What I'd like to find are your little tricks
and suggestions for building a character and making that character come alive
onstage.  What goes through your mind as you're working during rehearsals?
How do you blend this with what the director tells you?  Do you depend on the
director to define your character, or do you decide the character's personality
and then try to mesh that with the director's opinion?  How do you get 
yourself psyched to go onstage for each performance and how do you keep each
performance fresh?

Thanks in advance.
