I am acting in an amateur theater production. Its a slapstick play and my character the villainess has a scene in which she receives her comeuppance being soaked by a bucket or water and taking a pie in the face. Looking for advice on how to prepare. Concern is how to make my reactions spontaneous given I know what's coming. So far in rehearsals I tend to react a bit in advance spoiling the affect.

Hand this over the person or people who are doing the chucking. Tell them how you feel, and invite them to try all sorts of different tricks in rehearsal so that you really don't know what's coming - just make sure they don't tell you in advance.
