I’m gonna be in a classical production- but I suspect I am the only classically trained actor in it! How do I navigate this?

I worked as a stand-in on a running show in NYC during the last WGA strike in 2007, and this is how it played out regarding work, picket lines and scabbing
On November 5, 2007, the WGA strike was called, but our show did not shut down. Yes, the DGA (and Teamsters) had no-solidarity strike clauses in their contracts, but were supportive of the strike (many of the directors and producers were also WGA members). The strike called for writers to stop writing. Whatever had bee…

How on earth did the actors on Jury Duty not break character when Ronald was around?!
I know some scenes were shot without Ronald so that allows for retakes but how tf did they not break when interacting with him. If I had to do Noah’s “I’m a racist” scene or be the defendant’s attorney, I would have absolutely lost my mind the second I made eye contact with the other actors. I’m truly mind blown!
