Abstract
In this document, I will give a detailed account of my preparation, rehearsal and performance process, and finally, will evaluate and assess the outcome of my contributions and experiences as I performed the role of Vershinin in Anton Chekhov's The Three Sisters. Throughout the duration of this production, I was challenged and also rewarded by my struggles and discoveries while creating a complex character for the stage. The preparation for my role in the play consisted of using different acting techniques that I studied while at West Virginia University as well as research I compiled about life in Russia during the late 1800's, early 1900's.
