Rehearsal Process and the Playwright

The rehearsal process has been a healthy experience for me as the writer. Being able to hear the words said aloud with inflections and voices different from my own, allows me to gain a more objective perspective, other than when I hear it in my head. I’ve made major changes to my script after the rehearsal process. For example, I rewrote a monologue because I felt like the character was one-dimensional. I discovered this through rehearsal by being able to hear the actor read. I have also added additional elements that I would have not thought to add, such as repetition of a particular line. It was because of being in rehearsal and seeing the choices of the director, I probably would not have been inspire to make those changes to the script.
