Grade 9's: Tomorrow, you will present your three Shakespeare scenes. Know your lines. Think of stage business before you start the scene. Be sure you understand the subtext of the scene. Listen to your partner when he or she speaks -- that will help you know what to say or do.
Grade 8's: Your fairy tale performances are due on Thursday. You need instrumental music to set a mood for your scene. Make sure you are clear on the story.
Grade 10's: You need to be working on the lines from "I Seek You".
A and D Blocks: You will be able to see "A Midsummer Night's Dream" on Wednesday or Thursday of next week. Please bring $5 to pay for your ticket. If you cannot afford it, just let me know. My priority is that you see the play. But the money does go to a good cause -- it funds the next play by the drama club and helps pay for scholarships to deserving Drama students, so if you can afford it, please pony up! You must report to the lounge at 1 p.m. precisely -- the play starts there! A Block -- you will attend on Wednesday, December 11 and D Block -- you will attend on Thursday, December 12. If you are already going with another class, just let me know. I don't want you to pay twice.
Midsummer Night's Dream cast and crew: Our next run through is Friday after school. Be there promptly at 3 and we can start right away! You must know your lines (no books!!!). If you don't, I'll be forced to cut your part to a minimum.
In general, you must react. If you are not speaking, you need to look engaged. Don't just stand there waiting for your lines. Look like you're living in the situation.
