Tara

Tara is one of the actors going on the retreat. She missed class a week ago. When I saw her last night, I was reminded as to how little I know her. She's a bit of wild card for me regarding the weekend.
I like the work she does and I like her enthusiasm. She seems to have a chip on her shoulder under her pleasant demeanor.
I'm confused by her devotion to her job as I am with any actor that stays with a service industry job that offers little schedule flexibility.
Scheduling is one of my biggest frustrations with actors. So often I have offered actors the chance to work only to be met with a lot scheduling conflicts. Because I am all too willing to put making films or theater ahead of everything, I find it confusing to say the least.
My task is to give last night's interaction with Tara some thought in relation to the circumstances I have in mind for her (character).
Getting to know Rose was very helpful. I will try to make a similiar effort with Tara.
