RE: Theater Class as English Credit?

Posted By April Fritts 11-15-2016 06:27
Found In Egroup: Open Forum \ view thread
When I first started teaching 17 years ago, our theatre classes (of which there were only 2) were both English credits. It meant that my classes were much more about play and character analysis than acting or stage craft. It was fine, but I don't feel it brought more kids, it was actually less, as it ...

RE: Gender Bent or Gender Blind Shows

What I find particularly interesting about this concept right now is that gender has become a more fluid concept in recent years and it has affected my productions. I have several transgender/questioning students who don't want to audition for their born-as-gender roles and want to audition for the roles ...

RE: Maternity leave

It's a huge pain to deal with, I remember it well. My students were used to doing just about nothing when i came back in after the birth of my daughter. Even though it may be boring, it was easier to have my sub stick to the more traditional academic topics- theatre history, play analysis, etc. When ...

Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre

In the fall we are going to do our first Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre as a fundraiser for our Spring Musical. I am looking for both script suggestions and any advice you have on the dinner aspect of the show. I'd prefer not to do a musical (though some music elements are fine) as I want to give my non-singing ...

Help! Little Shop Push Back

Found In Egroup: Open Forum \ view thread
We just performed Act I of Little Shop for the student body today. It went beautifully. However, I got an email just now from my principal that she is concerned about the language and the gun. We are, of course, using a fake gun, and even though I know I shouldn't, I had already changed the GDs to Damns, ...

Audrey II

After our Little Shop production, I will need to get rid of our Audrey IIs due to storage space. Most of the local schools have done this show recently and won't be in need of the puppets. How do you think I should go about trying to sell them? ------------------------------ April Fritts Teacher ...
