Many fields of creative art from writing to acting have some ground rules you should abide by but...  how many of these rules are just someone's own preference or taste.  What rules can you ignore and what rules can you follow. I wrote a book many years ago called Basic On Stage Survival Guide For Amateur Actors that contains Rules For Stage Actors.  Someone contacted me and asked if these rules could be broken? Would there ever be a circumstance where you had to ignore a rule?  The answer is YES. I had to do it one time. One of the biggest rules actors should follow I had to break during a performance. Why? What was the Rule? Well, listen and I will tell you all about it.
