Vampire Lesbians of Sodom


This morning take 5-10 minutes to complete the round-table discussion of the articles on Pantomime, The Cross-Dressing Tradition, and the Commedia Dell'Arte. Turn in your graphic organizer notes for credit.

We will continue to read Vampire Lesbians of Sodom in class today. For students who do not have a part to read out loud, please note how Busch uses dialogue effectively in this play. Consider the points I covered last class. At the end of our reading of the play, please present your findings to the rest of the class. It will be YOUR turn to talk!

With time remaining in class, please retire to the lab to continue working on your play projects. Aim to complete a draft of your play by the end of next week. Actual deadline will be Nov. 3. The marking period ends on Friday, Nov. 7.

HOMEWORK: Please choose 1 other play from The Tale of the Allergist's Wife and Other Plays by Charles Busch and read it by Thursday, Oct. 30. Complete the play critique for this play (see handout).

Go see The Young Playwrights' Contest winners at Geva this weekend: Saturday and Sunday at 3:00 in the Next Stage (Geva Theater). Tickets are free and can be reserved here
