Synopsis: It takes a lot for an artist to give a good performance. Hours upon hours of rehearsal, costume fitting, practicing lines, learning blocking and choreography, figuring out how the character walks, talks, and thinks. All of this comes together for those brief but wonderful moments, when the artist walks the stage to create a fully-fledged character. Sadly, many artists like Mr. Virgil, don’t have the opportunity to create any character nor to give a performance.
