Synopsis

Revived on Broadway in 2007 in a Tony-winning production, this 1960’s French farce (adapted for the English-speaking stage) features self-styled Parisian lothario Bernard (an American), who has Italian, German, and American fiancées, each beautiful airline hostesses with frequent “layovers.” He keeps “one up, one down, and one pending” until unexpected schedule changes bring all three to Paris, and Bernard’s apartment, at the same time.

Need to Learn an Accent?

Some of our actors have had continued success learning a variety of accents via the Dialect Accent Specialist materials. These are a reasonably priced collection of downloadable audio dialect lessons by David Lan Stern. The collection includes a wide range of dialects, such as New York City, American Southern & Texas, Cockney, German, and even Arabic! More info here:  Accents & Dialects for Actors.

Learning Lines? Yes, There's an App for That!

Picture
There are a growing number of smart phone/device apps to help one learn lines. One that some of our actors highly recommend is LineLearner. However, it appears to work best with an iPhone rather than Android devices. Some additional links related to the app: iOS written instructions and video tutorials, 

Recommended Reading

Picture
An Actor's Companion, Tools for the Working Actor. is an excellent book for both those new to acting as well as advanced actors. It is a relatively short read, full of succinct and simply set forth principles and activities. Experimenting with these principles will enable you to give a better performance.
