>>>> **Stage Tips**
 * 1) Open out to the audience. For example, when two people have a real conversation, they face each other. However, on stage, you turn your body to the audience.
 * 2) Try to keep your hair out of your eyes unless the part requires it.
 * 3) When you make gestures, try to keep your arms and legs farthest from the audience or upstage.
 * 4) Always turn so you face the audience during a turn.
 * 5) Keep the energy in the imaginary happenings occurring on stage.
 * 6) If two or more cast members walk across the stage, the person closest to the audience should follow the one that is furthest from the audience.
 * 7) See the stage areas below:
