Your writing should represent your best critical and creative effort. You will be graded on your comprehension of the text and the level of inquiry and effort. If you consult outside sources, you must document them by using quotation marks for any ideas you quote, and citing page numbers. In addition, you must include a bibliography at the end for any outside sources. For theater dates see this link.
