"Pretend" Your Boyfriend Made Your Lean Cuisine, and Five Other Acting Exercises to Try Th

As Shakespeare always said, "All the World Is a Stage!" Even when you're not working, its important to always be honing your craft (use it or lose it!) As an actor, this means you are paid to be delusional, and you can daydream for a living! Feeling stuck? Here are some excellent ways to play pretend this week!

1. Pretend Your Boyfriend made your Lean Cuisine: Practice making happy belly sounds as you eat!

2. Pretend to Be Equity: Walk past the monitor with confidence. Present your metro card instead of your Equity card.

3. Pretend Its Time to Leave Work: Go home before your shift is over. (If you’re doing it right no one will notice your swift and confident exit.)

4. Pretend Hillary is President: Revel in the joy. Practice Happy Tears.

5. Pretend You’re a Big Deal: Post selfies every five minutes (most of you have already tried this, but it’s a great one to go back to.)

6. Pretend You Have Seen Hamilton: Regale your family about the show’s beauty and inventiveness. (For extra fun, post a picture of yourself outside the theater.)
