I have a Google Classroom and posted the auditions with a deadline as an assignment. Students recorded audition videos on their phone, and submitted them on classroom. I have also done live auditions on Zoom where they had an appointment time when they had to join and I kept them in the waiting room ...

I did Almost Maine 5 years ago. In the last scene I cast two good friends who stripped to the long johns and were super comfortable with the intentions of the scene. In They Fell I had two girls because I did not have enough boys. There were zero complaints. ------------------------------ Nancy Lomas-Reynolds ...

I did Big Fish last April and it was a wonderful show with lots of opportunities. It was very well received by our community. We performed at a local theatre festival as well and had positive feedback. I have a variety of things from the show that are available to rent including many silk daffodils (both ...

RE: Balancing Production rehearsals with other extra curricular activities like sports

Found In Egroup: Open Forum \ view thread
I teach in a small school and most of my students are involved in other activities. Some activities and sports pair better than others. We rehearse right after school every day, and marching band rehearses 3 times a week, so the marching band comes on the days they are free until the season is over. ...

I am looking for some advice and resources that pertain to lighting. In the theatre at my school we have twelve 40 year old Lekos for front light and three electrics of overhead strip lighting.

RE: cancelled a show the day before showtime?

I had to cancel a show several years ago when the roof of our theatre was leaking and it was raining on our stage. We canceled hours before we were set to open and held a meeting in the principal's conference room and everyone had an opportunity to express their availability to reschedule. Unfortunately, ...

I used plexiglass last year to make stained glass windows. I tested hot glue on a small panel and I found that it didn't stick and was hard to control the way I wanted to. I ended up using black painters tape from the art store to create the borders. I also used a gel gloss medium and paint meant for ...

RE: shooting Edward out of canon in Big Fish

We are working on this show right now too. We made a cannon using sonotube on a wagon. The upstage side of it is cut away so Edward can get out of it easily. It gets pushed on so the very end of it is covered by drapery. We also turned the cannon towards the upstage corner of the stage. I have to continue ...

I have had similar experiences with students refusing to accept ensemble roles (and in some cases featured or secondary roles). I had included questions on the audition form that asked students if they were any circumstances (casting or otherwise) that would result in students not participating in the ...
