Theater & Acting - December 2006

is there a base level of intelligence below which its impossible to succeed at acting?

can great complex roles only be played by actors who are of above average intelligence?

i know intelligence is hard to define...but i suppose i am asking what part an actors intelligence plays in the roles he gets to play.

"Sunrise, Sunset" sung in "Fiddler on the Roof" is my favorite song. What does the part of its lyrics "Is there a canopy in store for me?" mean? I know what a canopy is. I want to know what this does part exactoly imply? (I am a Japanese.)

I'm having difficulty figuring out what a particular monologue from Shakespeare's "Much Ado about Nothing" means in modern English.

By the way, this is the friar's 16 lines in Act IV Scene I.

Hear me a little;
For I have been silent so long,
And given way unto this course of fortune,
By noting of the lady. I have mark’d
A thousand blushing apparitions
To start into her face, a thousand innocent shames
In angel whiteness beat away those blushes,
And in her eye there hath appear’d a fire
To burn the errors that these princes hold
Against her maiden truth. Call me a fool;
Trust not my reading nor my observations,
Which with experimental seal doth warrant
The tenor of my book; trust not my age,
My reverence, calling, nor divinity,
If this sweet lady lie not guiltless here
Under some biting error.

i understand some parts; but if someone could translate this in a way i can understand that'd be great. thanx!

I just don't get Christine. I want to know if someone can explain me her true feelings towards Raoul and the Phantom. Because sometimes I think she loves one, then the other, and then none of them. What do you think?

I need two monologues, comedic and a dramatic, that are 1 to 2 minutes long each. It needs to be from age 16- early 20's, contemporary. I know that i should find my own but if any body can give me plays to read so i can cut one that would be great... i really don't want movie monologues and i don't want a common monologue that every one uses. It's for my theatre class as well as auditions. Thanks to all who answer!
