Raw Intent

[Pat McCall]

One of the great things about taking an acting class is the opportunity to do a role you'll never realistically get casted for. I know that sounds odd, but it makes you create somebody who is very different from who you are. Ron Myroup, who is teaching the Raw Intent group, is having me play a young man in his 20s with the mind of a 12 year old, who is a sociopathic killer of children. The character is Michal from the astoundingly intense play THE PILLOWMAN. It is creepy simply to read the dialogue. Performing it requires concentrating on leaving your self out of the equation. I am fortunate to have Ron's guidance in this endeavor.
