Hamlet's advice to the players

Speak the speech, I pray you, as I pronounced it to
you, trippingly on the tongue: but if you mouth it,
as many of your players do, I had as lief the
town-crier spoke my lines. Nor do not saw the air
too much with your hand, thus, but use all gently;
for in the very torrent, tempest, and, as I may say,
the whirlwind of passion, you must acquire and beget
a temperance that may give it smoothness.

Grade 9/10's:  This is your recitation passage.  Theatre production students, it never hurts to learn a bit of Shakespeare, so you can do it, too!

Theatre production:  Don't get obsessed with light and sound.  That's not going to make your scary place scary enough.  You need literary references and some sort of narrative!

Grade 8's, have a great time at camp!  Most students mention Grade 8 camp as one of the most memorable events of their time at high school, so I know you'll have a great time and come back with new friends and lots of great stories and adventures to remember.

 Remember, journals should be handed in today.
