Projects

Please work to complete your play evaluation/critiques. See previous post for details. I would like to have these before you go on your winter break--also so that you have minimal responsibility and work due for this class.

Use the time today in lab to complete your project work: writing historical 10-minute, one-act, or full length plays script drafts, and complete your play critique for one of Charles Busch's plays AND/OR complete a play critique of August Wilson's The Piano Lesson.

Students who have completed The Piano Lesson and are ready to pick up August Wilson's Fences, may do so today or Thursday.

For those of you who would like, please watch this interview with August Wilson (with Bill Moyer) The interview was conducted in 1988 (before any of you were born). Note the issues being discussed. Times have changed, but times have also stayed the same.
