Knowing Your Surroundings

(heard at the theater during a rehearsal)
“Why’d you put your bottle in the trough?” asks the director.
“Keepin’ it cold,” replies the actor, smugly. I’m in character.
“You mean ‘wet’ — that water is really warm.” No you aren’t.
“Huh?”
“It’s a trough, in the sun, in Oklahoma, in summer.” He walks away.
“Huh.”
It’s hard to be in character when you have no idea where your character is.
