A lot of an actor’s working life is spent rehearsing and preparing for performances. In the theatre, actors may perform the same role for weeks or even months. They also need to research their characters, learn their lines, and prepare for and attend auditions. They attend costume fittings and also spend time in make-up. Teamwork is a major part of the work. A successful actor or actress must be able to work well with other actors and all the technical members of the production crew.
