Play Development

Today with the acting majors, please complete the following:

1. Complete your reading and discussion/workshop of your play.
2. As co-director, you and an acting major (another co-director) will stage and block your play today.
3. Your group should block each play in your group. Help out where you can. While not blocking (if it's not your play and you are not an understudy) go over your play and plan rewrites or revisions.

HOMEWORK: (or complete during down time in the theater) please read the article on Play Development. Identify ONE thing that you think is important for you to learn from this article about workshopping a play. Write this one thing on paper and hand in next class.
