Workshopping Your Play

Today, after the announcements, we will be returning to the black box theater to workshop our plays. Each actor/playwright will be given a form to fill out for the play group he/she is in. Please complete these sheets and turn them in to Mr. Craddock or Mr. Fellows.

1. Once all the play scripts have been read, discuss with the actors/writers in your group about how you can improve or strengthen your play.
2. If you have specific questions please ask them.
3. After you have received feedback from the actors and writers in your group, please begin "directing" each show.
4. Choose a director (an actor who is not in the current play or a writer) and direct the actor(s) in the scene. Use the black box and ensemble space to rehearse.
5. We will continue rehearsing next class. Eventually we will be watching each other's plays as a class.

HOMEWORK: Please watch and post a response on the forum to one of Beckett's plays. See posts below for further details. Your post response is due January 9 (Monday).
