[twitter-follow username="ejamesdevereaux" scheme="dark"] This week I went to look at a venue which I may be able to turn into a theatre. I have been thinking about starting my own theatre for many years, but the stars had needed to be in a certain alignment for...
Read MoreThe Great Acting Blog: “Build It On Solid Craft”

[twitter-follow username="ejamesdevereaux" scheme="dark"] One of the great things about acting (if you're diligent and willing) is that you can improve your work very, very quickly. Why?
