 D and A Block classes:  We are going to get to see Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part 1 in our own theatre on December 16 (D Block) and December 17 (A Block).  You will report to the theatre at the beginning of lunch and be in your seat at 1 p.m. AT THE LATEST!  Please bring $5 for your ticket, if you can.

Senior Drama:

Write a script about how your film project is unfolding.  Give me some insight into your group and how it is functioning.

Example:

Set: Theatre

Esther hands out paper to everyone.

Esther:  Okay, I've written a script.  I'm the lead, Diaphony,  She's a performance artist--

Earnest:  (interrupting) You're always the lead.  I wrote a script, too.  It's a musical-- (He pulls out some scripts from his bag)

Esther:  A musical?  How stupid, Earnest.  I can't even sing.

Earnest:  Well, Catherine can, so she's the lead.  It's about--

(Esther rips papers out of his hand) I only get two lines?  What the heck?

Morris:  It's only ten minutes.  How many lines do you think you should get?  Hey, I get to play my trumpet!

Esther:  (throwing the papers down) I'm not interested.  (She walks out.)

The other three look at each other.

Catherine:  She'll come back.

Earnest:  I hope not.  I hate her always bossing me.

Morris:  Let's read Earnest's script out loud.  If Esther comes back, we could read her script, too.

ETC.
