Today, please work on the following projects:
A. Complete and hand in the brainstorming sheet from last class. This should take you less than 20 minutes if you have not completed the assignment yet.
B. Begin working on your play project(s) (see last post for details)
C. Please read one of the plays in Charles Busch's collection of plays (see previous posts): Red Scare on Sunset, The Lady in Question, Psycho Beach Party, or the Tale of the Allergist's Wife. Complete a theater critique of the play. See the previous post for details on how to write a critique.
D. Begin researching and reading The Piano Lesson by August Wilson. Information about August Wilson can be found here.
As a play project, Wilson wanted to track the progress and examine central issues African Americans had to deal with in the 20th century. Each of his plays takes place in a particular decade from the 1900's to the 1990's. Effectively, this is similar to your assignment regarding a historical period.
