RE: Memorization

I do an ongoing monologue unit throughout the year. They work on monologues every Monday and present them at the end of the grading period. Through that unit I teach them various memorization techniques and explain how there isn't a one-size-fits-all approach to memorization, they need to experiment ...

Good Morning! I have been given the opportunity to lead a PD for all of our fine arts (band, choir, theatre, art) in the spring. I'm well versed in theatre and have experience with music, but what would you all suggest might be some topics that all disciplines could benefit from? Has anyone had experience ...

Thank you for the encouragement, I've been questioning if I even want to attempt this, but you're right, it will be really good for those littles. :) ------------------------------ Summer Rickman Hobbs High School NM ------------------------------

So much good information! Thank you! I hadn't even thought about how to do the cast party, so thank you for that. And right now I have the rehearsal schedule sketched out with rehearsals right after school, but you make a good point about the little ones probably needing to meet in the evenings so parents ...

In an attempt at building both our music and theatre programs back up at the high school level (we've both taken a hit after COVID and still haven't fully recovered)- we are looking to extend auditions for our musical this year to elementary and middle school students (they will be mostly chorus members, ...

The Snow Show by Lindsay Price (Theatrefolk) is one I come back to year after year. It's a vignette play so there are all kinds of fun scenes and flexible casting and then there are 3 main roles that stay consistent throughout the play. It focuses on snow, and the joys of the winter season without mentioning ...

We're working on resumes too and I just had them put the show date in parenthesis next to the theatre listing. Ex: HHS Auditorium (Show Date 4.25.20) I wasn't sure how to address it either, but thought that was as good as any. ------------------------------ Summer Rickman Hobbs High School NM ----- ...

If you can make it work in your theatre, you should look into projections. I've used them and it was so easy- they basically email them to you and then you just project all the different locations on a screen in the back of the theatre- they even have some that are animated. Another option is drops, ...

The Curious Savage is a great piece. It's very funny and very moving. I loved working on it with my seniors because it's about finding family in unlikely places. The main character spends the whole play trying to leave but when she finally does, she finds it difficult to leave the people she's grown ...

Hey All! I'm looking to purchase some theatre boxes that are collapsible but still sturdy. I used to have a catalogue for a company that had some but can't seem to find it in the madness that is my office. Does anyone have a link to a website I might look at? Thanks! ------------------------------ Summer ...

We did The Curious Savage in the fall of 2019 for the first time and it was wonderful. The kids loved it, I loved it, the audience loved it. It's such an amazing, heartwarming show. We produced it in my Little Theatre that only holds about 120, so it was an intimate experience for all. Sold out just ...

Okay Theatre Brains, I have a question. I already have a show in mind for this semester, but lately our community (and our school in particular) has been hit really hard with COVID. So I'm contemplating changing shows to better fit/address our current situation. I would be interested in a heartwarming, ...
