Personally, I'm a fan of Ben Nye and 90% of my make-up is from them. But Mehron (I Think that's how its spelled) is good too. ------------------------------ Heather Cribbs Theatre Director New Smyrna Beach High School New Smyrna Beach, FL ------------------------------

I ADORE teaching theatre history (I'm a huge history nerd). Something fun I have my theatre 1 students do during our Greek unit is write their own Choral Ode to a Greek God (that I assign). They have to research, write, choreograph, rehearse and perform them for the class. The kids really enjoy it each ...

I like that! I might put that on the bottom. And it's supposed to be black box. It was 6:30am and I hadn't finished my coffee. Haha. (: ------------------------------ Heather Cribbs Theatre Director New Smyrna Beach High School New Smyrna Beach, FL ------------------------------

Hello theatrical thinktank! I'd like to create a growth mindset bulletin board in my black box for my 9-12 theatre classes, but I'd like it to actually be theatre based. I'm stumped. Do you guys have any ideas for quotes for fixed mindset vs. growth mindset? I'd really appreciate the help. Thanks!!! ...

The Tin Woman is a good show, but I've never seen it produced. I saw I and You last year at the Florida State Festival and I CRIED. It's a beautiful show. BUT, it's only 2 actors, so that may be an issue for you. ------------------------------ Heather Cribbs Theatre Director New Smyrna Beach ...

We just closed it two weeks ago. I performed in it when I was in high school and it was GREAT. This time, our audience just... didn't get it? In my opinion, it was played very well and the timing (no pun intended) was very well rehearsed. But a lot of the jokes and humor didn't read to the audience. ...

Have you thought about "Thoroughly Modern Millie"? LOTS of female roles, plus a few good meaty ones. Decent number of male roles too. ------------------------------ Heather Cribbs Theatre Director New Smyrna Beach High School New Smyrna Beach, FL ------------------------------

Has anyone directed Calvin Berger before? I'll be doing it next year with my musical theatre 1 and 2 students (about 25 students total). We've been give permission to add an ensemble to the show. If you've directed it, what advice do you have? It has a TON of location, which I'm hoping to show using ...

I directed Once Upon A Pandora's Box last year and it was a BLAST. It's villains (Rumplestilskin, Big Bad Wolf, Evil Queen, Witch and 13th Fairy) who are put into a box by Zeus and then accidentally released into a New York apartment by two kids. There's also 3 princesses (I also added a fairytale ensemble). ...

Personally, I feel that smaller, more intimate casts allow students to grow more. Especially shows that have a real message that aren't necessarily done a lot. Can you look at shows that have a small number of main roles and then an additional ensemble? That way, you can cast your college-bound actors ...

When I had to recast so late in the game, I met immediately with the new actor, worked on character and had them write down all blocking so that when they came into their first rehearsal, they had all information. ------------------------------ Heather Cribbs Theatre Director New Smyrna Beach ...

I second the suggestion of any Claire and Catherine scene from Proof. I directed it in October and the scenes really allow the girls to connect. There's a deep relationship there for them to explore. ------------------------------ Heather Cribbs Theatre Director New Smyrna Beach High School New ...

I'm at it again! How do you organize your racks? I have 10 available costume racks (heavy duty, on wheels) and I'd like to reorganize them. I have to have at least 1 whole rack for prom dresses (we do rentals), but I'm not sure what to do with the others. Here's my idea. Any suggestions? Rack A ...

I started one at my school this year. I'd be happy to send you my class syllabus, if you'd like. It doesn't have standards or anything on it, but it could be used as a spring board. Just let me know. (: ------------------------------ Heather Cribbs Theatre Director New Smyrna Beach High School ...
