Good work on the mimes today, everyone! For the grade 9's and 10's, I am especially pleased at how well you took direction. It is a great skill to be able to take constructive criticism and use it to improve your work and that is something I am looking for when I assess your progress in Drama.
Grade 8 and 9: We will perform our Shakespeare recitations on Monday, September 23. Grade 10's: Yours will be on Monday, September 30. Practice saying your speech out loud. That is the only way to memorize a speech. Say it for your family -- ask them to tell you honestly if you are speaking clearly and loudly enough.
Drama Club: Auditions are on-going this week. If there is no time available on the sign up sheet, just show up and audition -- there are always a few spare minutes. As is often the case, we need any talented boys to come forward, especially. Don't be intimidated by Shakespeare -- it isn't as difficult as you think. If you are interested in performing, you can ask for a small part and see what it's like.
Crew -- listen for the announcements -- we'll have a brief meeting on Monday at lunch in the theatre to see what everyone's schedule is.
Tomorrow is Photo Day. Your image will be imprinted in the yearbook for posterity, so "dress your best" for Spirit Week AND to make your best impression on everyone who looks in the yearbook in years to come.
