Alice: Shouldn't we start planning where to put the big ugly fountain I'm getting from Santa Claus? Mom: No, you should start practicing your part for the Blisshaven Winter Pageant. Alice: I know my part! "WE ARE WINTER'S JEWELS DANCING THROUGH THE AIR. SOMETHING SOMETHING, SOMETHING ELSE, BLAH DEE BLAH DEE BLAH!" Alice: And then I fall down and tragically melt into a ghastly puddle- GAAAAH AAGH Mom: That's not how it goes!

You can get Alice to memorize all her lines, but once that curtian goes up and Alice sees the audience, Blah-dee blah-dee BLAH might all be what you can get out of her.

It’s early in the rehearsal process. Alice is still trying to find her character’s motivation and through-line.

I would want to see that performance, Alice. Every great performance ends in a ghastly puddle, doesn’t it?
