Method Actors and Over Acting: the Drama Kids One

On the front Steps of the School, London is reading a Newspaper

London: "...And I feel that the plays overdramatic use of color and light took away from the feeling realism in this modern classic." How can they possibly say that the lighting was perfect...I should know I was the head lighter..."...The costumes were shabby at best"? What I designed those costumes from scratch...They must not have been close enough to notice the subtle details..."The best part of the night was when the play ended" That is just plain rude! I would never say that about a play...Well maybe just that one schools play....
[Mark and Jenn walk in]

Mark: what's Wrong Sugar?
London:[continuing to read] It's...It's this paper....They absolutely hated our performance of the musical last night...They said it was"one of the worst shows I have ever seen, it was even worse than my neighbors performance as the lead in suessical, when he was in third grade"
Mark: That bastard! How could he say that we put the performances of our lives last night...Everything was perfect...I mean I know that I acted as good as any Broadway actor and I am only 18
London: Well they say you over acted.
Mark: What! I never over act...How can anyone accuse me of over acting! I act perfectly at all times...In fact the director at NYU, when I auditioned, was so pleased he gave me the wink and nod when I auditioned...I am sure I got in...Besides I know I acted at least as well as I did when I was the lead in Suessecal
Jenn: When are you going to let that go?
Mark: Never, I was told I was the best they had ever scene!
Jenn: You were the only one they had ever seen
Mark: That is beside the point
Jenn: Well what did they say about the musical numbers?
London: That they were "poorly performed" and that they were "out of tune"
Jenn: I will kill this fuckin bitch
Mark: Haha not so easy to deal with when you are being made fun of...is it Jennifer?
Jenn: Fuck you! At least I have a boy and I wasn't compared to a third grader
Mark: Yes but your boy is far away and being told you are tone death isn't any better...Did they say anything positive about the play?
London: Yes that the student author who wrote it was "a genius in his ability to capture human emotion and the struggle of everyday life"
Mark: Wow that is a little bloated
Jenn: Ya I mean Mike wrote it but I didn't think it was that good
Mark: Well I told him it wasn't that good...I mean the dialogue fell flat a lot and the jokes were kind of lame
Jenn: That is certainly true I mean his songs were really bad...He has no ability to capture feeling in songs certainly and did you see him when he tried out for the play?
Mark: Oh my God yes! He was terrible...He under acted all the time and had no ability to sing
Jenn: Yes thank god we didn't let him be the lead like he wanted
Mark: the best idea ever was to make him in charge of lighting
London: Well I kicked him off that...I felt like he never could light properly...Always used such pale colors
Jenn: Who wrote that article anyway? I want to send them a nasty letter!
London: Let me see it was....Oh my god!
Jenn: What?
London: It was MIKE!
