Senior Drama update!

 Both A1 and A2 -- make sure you do the journal from the previous post!  They are due on Tuesday (or Wednesday).  (Write about both topics -- a special day we could commemorate and the best film of the three WAG entrants.)

Practice "Friends, Romans, Countrymen".  You need to memorize it and recite it with expression sometime during the quarter.

We are going to look at how we can manage the WAG (Williams at Gilbert) Film Festival gala.  Theatre Production -- think about how we can set up the stage.  Directing and Scriptwriting -- write a 2 page scene exploring the requirements of the entries -- 10 minutes long (all the films broke this rule!), the theme "it's contagious", the quote "no man is an island", and a toilet roll.  They also had to use the song "Are You Lonesome Tonight?"  Do not use a recording of the song -- that breaks copyright!  Actors -- you will be the presenters.

Here is a lame poem I wrote, in honour of the WAG:

It’s that time of year;

It’s WAGGIE time,

No need to fear,

That hill we’ll climb!

 

You made your flick,

Let’s see it play –

Your work is slick –

Now it’s the day!

 

Though someone wins

And it’s not you

Your film begins

And whoop de doo!

 

The people cry

And then they clap

They laugh and sigh

Your back they slap.

 

You did your best

And now next year

You’ll hit the crest –

Let’s hear a cheer.

 

The waggies happen every year

Let’s hear some claps, let’s hear a cheer!

Your movies live forever now

So let’s sit back – enjoy the show!

If you can write music, it would be great if you could think of a tune for this!
