"Find out what you're getting. Pay attention to all the feedback you get and learn from it. Then change what you do until you get what you want." - Nicholas Boothman
Some of the kindest feedback I've gotten this year came at the tail end of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, when a cast member wrote a note that said "You are a great example of a Christian man." To be regarded in that way is about the highest honor I can think of, and one that'd make Mom & Dad happy too.
Embracing constructive feedback is not the most natural part of who I am, but I did embrace it as best I could through the Dirty Rotten Scoundrels experience. From the moment I was cast in a lesser role I believed that God was teaching me humility, and the growth in my ability to play drunk on stage and to dance more lightly on my feet was a satisfying exercise in seeking feedback from the experts.
