What stands out to me the most is how well Jovan has been playing Grant. I know that he made the character around him but I am still amazed at how into the character he is. He really knows when to exaggerate things and get more angry and when to tone it down a bit. It is clear to me that he has been working very hard because he knows his lines and can give them more emotion since he isn't thinking about what's my next line?

I am also completely in love with Jonas' character. Max is absolutely hilarious. Every single line that is said by him makes me laugh. I think it's both because of how well Jonas acts but also but of how it was written. I think the writers gave him great lines that stand out and give him a huge and funny personality. Lines like, "ya, fist pumping!" and "ooh, ooh- I got one," are some of my favorites. They are great one liners and Jonas delivers them with spunk, he projects, and adds hand gestures.

My favorite scene is the play is when all the boys gather around after Vincent goes out to coffee with Lily. I love this scene because Colby has his chance to show the audience his personality and what kind of guy he is. We see how he thinks he is amazing with the ladies but we also see Vincent open up with a girl. At the same time Max gets his funny one liners and Grant and Vincent's relationship begins to crumble. 

I think everyone has been doing such a great job lately and there isn't too much that I would change. But to get down to the knit-picky things I think the actors need to work on remembering their props and also having the prop people start to prompt the actors with what they need so that the actors are more prepared. Right now they have a lot going on and what to remember and I think having the prop masters prompt them or remind them will help them get into a routine.
