Consider your class performances like real performances before an audience. The show must go on no matter what. Students must manage scripts, handouts, homework, tests, quizzes, lecture notes, and a textbook. Students evaluate and provide feedback for professional performances, community performances, student performances, and their own personal performances. Students research, review and evaluate plays, playwrights, and performers.
Students compile and organize theatre research, prompt books, and class notes.
Students are required to perform scenes that involve working with other actors. Students are encouraged to assist and offer insight to one another when preparing for performances. Students are given the opportunity to be a stage manager or a crew head for theatrical performances. Students frequently have to alter plans and make modifications in order to accomplish the best performance. Students research plays, playwrights, cultures and locations on the Internet to prepare for character roles.
