A Scene from the Theater

When I found out one of my roles in Play It Again, Sam, I was quite excited. I will get to be in this scene:





How could I not be giddy? I get to perform dialogue that is quoted on IMDB!

Needless to say, this role will be a stretch. At rehearsal tonight:

The Director: "You need to be more monotone."
MRT: "I thought I was being monotone!"

However, I can do this. I can be artsy, faux-deep and nihilistic. I will be monotone, and my inflections will be subdued! It will happen!
