Suspect for the evening

I have a theatre group that does mystery games events and tonight we were performing at a local library.

It’s always so fun to take on a role and try to keep all the facts straight and to respond to questions from audience members in a way that adds to the narrative.

The challenge is to do all of that while trying not to look suspicious.

A GIF from the TV show Parks and Recreation showing two characters in flamboyant clothing walking oddly through a graveyard while singing ‘Don’t be suspicious, don’t be suspicious.’

There’s an art to it all and I have a great time exploring different approaches to that art.

And I enjoy seeing how the other actors play with that same process.
