An actor's perspective

So when I heard Brandon was directing this show I made a point to go out and read it before the auditions and to be honest, it didn't jump out at me then. I just saw a play. A good, well written play, but a play nonetheless. I'm not sure when it was that the weight of this show started to sink into me.
The more I think about this the more it astounds me. As I sit and listen to everyone reading these words i just keep thinking about how these are actual people. These are the exact words that came out of their mouths and they're really out there somewhere.
I've only ever approached a show one way; as an actor but I feel like thats not good enough for this show. I have such a strong urge to get this right. I'm used to a play challenging me as an actor but not so much as a person. Sounds corny, I know but its true.
I didn't realize what I was getting myself into but I'm very glad that I'm here.
