"Is this book fueling your passion for theatre?"

          Theatre has been my greatest passion in life ever since I first set foot on stage in the fifth grade. My love for this craft is constantly growing and developing, and I believe that this book has contributed to that process immensely. Before reading about Meisner and his technique, I felt sort of constrained - stuck in a rut of the one type of acting that I'd been taught and had used since elementary school. But once I delved into Meisner's book, it was like a breath of fresh air; something new and exciting that set my mind awhirl with all the potential possibilities and choices that I hadn't been exposed to. As I read this book, I constantly think to myself, "Wow, I'd love to try that," and I hope that some day I will be able to. Even if the Meisner technique ends up not being the right fit for me, I'm just glad that I got the chance to become familiar with it. I feel that by being introduced to it, I will become a more cultured and well-rounded actor, and that is something that I've been striving for ever since I began acting.
