Tonight is opening night for "Mama Won't Fly". I'm a bit nervous because we've had a number of technical problems. Our director originally planned to do a "minimalist" set, but it is quite huge with an 18-wheeler and a lot of other big things that need to be rolled in and out. In one scene, my daughter and I have to carry my future daughter-in-law and put her in the truck and it is really tough. The daughter-in-law is a small woman but she is very hard to carry and stuff in the truck, especially since we don't want to hurt her. But I am still looking forward to performing! (After tonight, it will be easier. You just never know how it's going to go.)
Our journals for this week:
Grade 8's: How do you think the world was created? Could you make a play about it? What about the myth we're performing makes it easy to present? What makes it difficult?
Grade 9's: Which stock character are you playing? What are you going to do with the character? (Think of voice, body language, reactions, and costume, hair, props and anything else that will help create a character.)
Senior Drama: Actors: Which character did you play in the movie scenes? What does the character want? What obstacles does he/she face? Choose one line the character says. Write about the subtext for that line.
Directors: Who will you cast in the characters in your play? Choose one character. Why did you choose the actor that you did?
Theatre production: What effect does lighting have on a scene? What is most essential when lighting a scene? What are some problems you might face when lighting a scene like the one from "Rebecca"?
