Grade 10's: You will perform the scenes from "I Seek You" tomorrow. This includes the scenes you were assigned and also the one you wrote as an ending. Know your lines and play characters. It is not enough just to recite perfectly -- you need to convince us you are the character.
Try to remember to bring your five dollars for the play -- we will be going on Wednesday. You must be in the lounge at 1 -- the play will start then. It will run until 3:05. If you get picked up by your parents, make sure you tell them the time. It is not appropriate for you to leave before the play is over. You must not use your phone during the play. You must be focused on the performance. It is a comedy, so hopefully you'll find it funny. Don't be afraid to laugh. You may interact with the actors, but remember, they are playing characters, not themselves, so don't expect them to respond to their names.
Grade 9's: Those of you who have not performed your Shakespeare scenes must do so on Monday. You will be going to see Midsummer Night's Dream on Thursday. See above (Grade 10's)) for instructions on what is expected of you. Many of your classmates are involved in the show, so be sure to be encouraging to them.
Grade 8's: Good work on the fairy tale mimes! We are leaving mime behind now and will be doing some scenes in which you can talk. Don't forget the lessons that mime and tableau have taught us -- that theatre is visual and you must be alert to what things look like on stage. Your facial expressions and body language are all important!
Cast and crew of Midsummer Night's Dream: I hope you all know your lines! You can't call for a line at the dress rehearsal or during the performance -- you need to know what you're doing. Crew--wear black for every performance. Tomorrow we will do a dress rehearsal -- everyone must attend or you can't help with the play.
