I suck at researching, hence the topic.
My story revolves around Gary and Will, a couple of lovers with the latter being a successful theatre actor. Will's ability to act is described as 'magical' since he doesn't require any practice or script to memorize (this is the fantasy element of this story).
The conflict is that Gary isn't sure who's Will, because he suspects that Will occasionally uses his acting skill to manipulate him, but he isn't sure. Of course, he was proud and intrigued with Will's surreal's acting skill when they first met, but now that their relationship is in jeopardy (Will is seen to be with another outstanding actor, Daniel, quite frequently), he wonders if Will's treating him the same as usual, and has a thing with Daniel.
Alright, so that's the base of the story. My question is: how do theatre works? I've seen a play once, but the experience is not enough for me to understand Will's job, as well as how Gary adapts to it. I specifically wants to ask the routine of an actor, whether there's a chance the producer (or someone with a similar job) is able to make it so that Will and Daniel are the main characters in each play they're involved with, and the challenges of dating a theatre actor.
Hopefully there's someone who's able to answer these questions, and thanks!
