Is there a required number of dressing rooms that are needed for theatre programs? Do they need bathrooms? Can they use hall bathrooms that patrons use? ------------------------------ Karen Wiebe Drama Director Randall K. Cooper High School KY ------------------------------

I JUST finished casting Miracle Worker and dealt with a lot of the same things. First off, I did an exercise that I found on another post and really hit home. I had the kids get in groups of 3 or 4. They each had to think of 3 people whom they enjoyed watching as actors. They then took those 9-12 people ...

Attendance policy

Hello all! I was just wondering if anyone had an attendance policy they would like to share. I know we all try to teach responsibility, but I have been having a problem with kids being absent. Sickness is fine, but more often than not it's "My mom scheduled an appointment for such and such." My ...

I have found that being transparent in all of this is necessary. Find a way to have them discuss it, without feeling bias or prejudice, freely. Then, together, figure out a way that you all can do the production while teaching at the same time. Obviously, altering the language can't be done. But, if ...

Showtix is free in terms of there are fees that they have, but you can choose whether or not they are passed on to the person or to the group. In addition, they are easy to use, and they send you a check, plus if you have an MTI show, take a discount.  I also got another dividend check mid January. ...

Maybe something from Steel Magnolias?  Something from Radium Girls might work as well, though it may be hard to find a scene where all 6 are together. ------------------------------ Karen Wiebe Drama Director Burlington KY ------------------------------

Hi! I've been reading mixed reviews on the Concord Theatricals website. I found them easy to use, but was concerned as I filled out a request for licensing on January 4th through Tams. I saw it wasn't in my dashboard and re-filled out another one once the site was up. Just talked to them and they ...

I did Footloose last year. I'm not a fan of cutting anything, especially a song.  Have you thought about taming down the choreography?  Honestly, Girl Gets Around was the least of my worries when I did it. I was more worried about Chuck Cranston and the Burger Blast scene where he barges in ...

Hi!  So I have some transgender students and have navigated some of these waters.  My administration defers to the parents on this one. Ultimately the child is a minor, and the parents have to consent to use a preferred name on an official document.  The overnight stay is where it can ...

I saw a production of Little Shop that used a live Audrey 2. Incredible! You just need the right actress/person to sell it. When the people got eaten, they did a lighting shift ------------------------------ Karen Wiebe Drama Director Burlington KY ------------------------------
