This thesis documents my journey as an actor of faith, and an MFA candidate, through the development and production of the role of Beatrice Rasponi in an adaptation by Dr. Michael Kirkland of Carlo Goldoni’s The Servant of Two Masters at Regent University. The introduction offers a brief summary of perceived challenges I expect to face and ideas to overcome them. Chapter One consists of my historical research of the playwright, play, time period, and my character. Chapter Two includes my textual analysis of the play, including plot structure, controlling and counter ideas, and spine phrases for all major characters. Chapter Three contains an in depth character analysis of Beatrice Rasponi, including an imagined backstory, moment to moment beat work, and physical techniques I plan on utilizing to bring the character to life. Chapter Four includes a rehearsal and performance journal documenting my progress along the way. Chapter Five is my conclusion, and contains discoveries and breakthroughs, response to criticism, advice for other actors, and a reflection on faith and acting. The Appendices contain our rehearsal schedule, production photos, the playbill, and my free associative writing.
