  1. Theatre 1-2Class Play

  2. What is it? • A chance for you to showcase your work for friends and families • When is it? • One night in early/mid March • Your conflict letter is important and due Friday. No exceptions!!!

  3. How does it work? • The show is a series of short scenes linked together by short monologues • All students in the class are members of the ensemble and are on stage at all times. • Ensemble actors are frozen in tableaus (frozen poses) while featured actors perform (Example: When the rock stars perform, all other actors are frozen in band positions, playing pantomimed musical instruments, etc.)

  4. When do we rehearse? • During class • At home • Select AcaPreps (advanced Theatre students will come to help too! • Dress rehearsal on the afternoon of your show

  5. Are there technical elements? • Costumes • You will need to wear blue jeans, a solid colored t- shirt no logos), and closed toe shoes for the dress rehearsal and performance. Hair should also be pulled back so we can see your face. • You may bring in additional costume pieces for your scene. Props You will be asked to use your own notebooks, backpacks,etc, as needed. We have specialty props like the large Valentine, laptop computer, etc.

  6. Other tech elements • Black box set • A series of elevated black cubes and platforms we use to create levels • You may use two benches in your scene • (Don’t stand on the benches) Lights and Sound - Created and provided by Advanced/Stage Production students.

  7. What should I do to get ready? • Learn your lines!!!! • Make an AcaPrep appointment with your partners for rehearsal (insert dates here) • Plan your costume • Learn the sequence of scenes when it is provided to you (hopefully next week!) • Use class time effectively

  8. How does this affect my grade? • This is a HUGE project- about 400 points. • You will receive a rubric, but rest assured…some of these points are also allotted to dress rehearsal and theatre etiquette. We are expecting your best work, but we will work with you to make it the best we can. • Don’t miss the show! It is a long term project, so short of extreme emergencies (with documentation), there is no make up work. And the make up assignment is grueling!!!

  9. So, why are we doing this? • You will learn more about theatre in this one night performance than you could ever imagine. • Your future job interviews and careers may require you to speak in public. There is no better training than this! • It is FUN!!!!!
