“You’re too pretty for this role” ; my journey finding Esther Mills in Lynn Nottage’s Intimate apparel

This work is an in depth reflection on my rehearsal process in the final performance of my graduate career as Esther Mills in Intimate Apparel by Lynn Nottage. In addition to my work in the aforementioned show, I assess my entire experience as an MFA candidate in acting at the University of Texas at Austin in the Department of Theatre and Dance.
