Historical Play Project: Day 5; Hamilton Act 1 & beginning of 2

Lab:

Use your time in the lab to work on your historical play script projects.

Feel free to view the following clips from the show--note the staging (and how it's pretty much just a bare stage--which means we learn where we are (setting) by the dialogue...):

• Hamilton at the Public Theater
• Off-Broadway "Hamilton" NBC News Spot (with interview)
• Meet the Actors
• The Schuyler Sisters clip
• Hamilton Stars Give Pence a Message 
• Hamiltrump (parody)

Take a look at the article on "voice of the setting"--read it, use it.

2nd Period: Hamilton, an American Musical by Lin-Manuel Miranda

Let's continue to read/listen to Hamilton, look for Greek Tragedy elements in the libretto. You will turn in your notes at the end of the reading.

HOMEWORK: None. Bring your scripts back with you to our next class.
