It’s pretty weird to return to doing rehearsals; the last time I had to do them was for when I was in my elementary school’s production of Annie (I was in 1st grade). It was a pretty shite production, not going to lie. The other actors and actresses really weren’t feeling it as much as I was at the time, so I ended up having a fit and storming offstage so my agent could hand me my juicebox and reassure me that the gig was worth it.

That’s partially untrue. I didn’t drink juiceboxes in those days.

Nowadays, I think the rehearsal process is pretty valuable because, not gonna lie, I do get pretty nervous when performing in front of other people, especially when reading my own work (and especially when reading stuff that is somewhat sensitive). I’m more used to acting in film, which isn’t a challenge whatsoever; being on stage is a whole different ball game.
