Green Friday

It's green because I painted the green on the set for "Pride and Prejudice" just now!  And it is VERY green.

Journals for the week:

Drama 9/10:  Write about the commedia play you liked the best (not your own).  Comment on one performance you liked (name the character and the actor who played it).  Include comments on the costumes (were they like commedia del'arte characters?), the plot (did it include love and money?   did it end happily?), a lazzi that you thought was funny, physical comedy and the commentary on current events.

Senior Drama:  What fairy tale (or traditional story) would make a good British panto?  Where would you set it?  What song(s) could you adapt to fit the story?  Write one joke that would fit in the story (try to make it an original joke).

Actors:  What character would you play?  Write about what you would do.
Directors:  What issue would you explore?  Why is it important?  How could you make it funny?
Production:  What would one of the character's look like?  (hair, makeup, costume, etc.)

Drama 8:  Are you good at working in a group?  On a scale of 1 - 5 (with 1 being not good at all and 5 being excellent), where would you rate yourself?  What makes you a good teammate?  How could you improve?  Are you a good leader?  Explain why.  Write about a time when you worked in a group and tell what you learned from the experience.

Pride and Prejudice

Just a note that "Pride and Prejudice" will be opening on December 4, not November 27!  There are so many things going on at Steveston-London these days that we thought it was best to push things off for a week, and we are glad we did, because we have lots of rehearsing and painting and sewing to do before we'd ready to put on a great show.

Our first performance will be December 4 at 7.  Then we will do two matinees on December 5 and 6 at 1 p.m.  In addition to those shows, we will be performing on December 5, 6, and 7 at 7 p.m.   Tickets for students are $5 and for adults $10!  It's a great deal for the chance to see the classic story of the Bennett sisters' hunt for husbands.  Will Jane find her heart's content at Netherfield with Mr. Bingley?  Will Mr. Darcy get his comeuppance?  Will Lydia and Kitty find true love?  Will Elizabeth give in to Mr. Wickham's charm?  Will Mr. Collins please Lady Catherine de Bourgh?  For the answers to these questions and for a fun and romantic evening, don't miss the show!

Journals for Friday, November 16

Grade 8's:

What should Ms. Kosar know about you?  Include any past drama experience (or lack of experience), whether you have stage fright or not, whether you've performed or done drama in elementary school and anything else you think will help me get to know you.

Senior Drama:

Use the word "inchoate" in a journal entry!  Be imaginative!  Bonus marks if you can refer to something in drama with the word.

Drama 9/10:

We had the high danger drill in Drama on Wednesday.  Write about a drama class which finds itself in a Yellow alert situation and then advances to a Red alert.  Make it about a page long.  Three pages is too long.
