How to Make the Cast Cookout About You
It’s summertime: That means out of town rep contracts and cookouts! You’ve finally got the day off for the Fourth! Only one problem: How do you get your daily dose of attention if you’re not performing? We know you live for the applause, so Hackstage is here to help!
Instead of bringing hot dogs, offer to sing the National Anthem before the cookout begins. Make a big scene if people seem reluctant (“How UN-patriotic!)
Search the company costume closet to find the sluttiest way to wear Red, White and Blue! Hint: a Lola costume from Damn Yankees or even a child’s Music Man costume can be great options!
If your show has float in the town parade, do your best to fall off of it. If you’re lucky, townies will rush to your aid and admire your bravery.
Refuse to even be around alcohol! Make sure everyone knows it is because you are “protecting your chords!”
Heckle the children at the community gazebo performance. Tell them they sound pitchy!
If all else fails, SET YOURSELF ON FIRE.
Happy Fourth Everyone!
XOXO
