Until someone joins you onstage, you have free rein to make any of the scene choices you want to.

I’m Michael Bradt for The Bit Theater. Though it’s not a common occurrence, there’s a chance every time you start a scene that you might be all alone onstage for a while. Don’t look offstage for help. Rather, keep the idea you had in mind, and act as your character would in the context of that idea. Do object work, move around the space, hum, whistle, talk to yourself about the idea. Until someone joins you onstage, you have free rein to make any of the scene choices you want to. Go ahead and start making the choices you can without a scene partner. That’s your improv tip for the day. Stay safe, stay healthy, love each other, and I will see you next time.
