Writing Prompts, by popular demand

For Advanced - write about Jurors #3 & #8 plus #5 or #9 plus whichever juror you actually 'played'.

What are their goals / objectives? Who are their allies? Are those allies aligned with them on the question itself or process? In the case of jurors other than #3 7 #8, when and why do they shift on either the question or process.

For extra Credit in lieu of 1 Production support hour: Expand this same set of prompts to apply to the entire jury, with finished product approximately 1 paragraph per juror.


Fantasticks prompt: Address what changes were needed and actually took place between the initial performances and the second round. Use examples from the groups you were in and at least one additional group.

MONDAY, November 30 beginning at 10am, running until 3pm, breaking til 5pm, then resuming until 9:30pm.

This is a CUT DAY on the tail end of Thanksgiving Break. Please try to get back into town in time to join us. I know we have one conflict with out of state air travel. I hope to minimize how many people we are missing.

Auditions, Twelfth Night

YES, they really are on Monday, when there is no school... And then again on Tues, possibly running late to accommodate whoever needs to go on Tues cuz they couldn't get to Monday.

People who do NOT come in with a selection that demonstrates ability (or lack of it) with Shakespeare's language or verse will likely be asked to cold read something by the Bard.

Keep Friday from 4 to 6 open for callbacks and then get to the Black n Blue game!

The TV Shows We Like...

was a doozy tonight. Still have DVRed House MD to watch tomorrow night.
For the rest of the evening, we still have our Joss Whedon alum, Nathan Fillion in Castle and Adam Chimeo's pop culture reference from Comic vs Fiction, Dancing with the Stars.

Still to come this week, former Whedon affiliates on How I Met Your Mother, and of course his current project, Dollhouse, not only has Buffy and Angel almuni, but also has more Battlestar refugees coming online over the next weeks.

Why do we care about TV? It's the best place to see actors working with enough regularity to get a sense of where they're at, craftwise. Particularly if they are on shows with solid writing and have characters with depth and nuance
