Found In Egroup: Open Forum \ view thread
Post-secondary preparation is 20% of a school's accountability in our state. Are there any CTE or post-secondary testing available for technical theatre? We need a dog in this fight. Thanks for any shared links. ------------------------------ Karen Feldhaus Daviess County High School KY ----------- ...

Our thespian troupe is working on a themed spring showcase.  The theme is Misunderstood Villains. I'm looking for suggestions of short plays, skits, monologues that parody villains or are about misunderstood villains.  Not quite like Space Balls, but you can get the idea.  Any suggestions? -------- ...

Thespys/I.E.s as class assignment

Does anyone use Thespys/I.E.s for a class assignment? Do you use the festival's rubrics for scoring? If so, how do you assign letter or percentage grades from the rubric?  Would you consider a Fair as a D?  Superior is 100%?  Just curious. ------------------------------ Karen Feldhaus Owensboro ...

I am in immediate need of stage rigging inspection and repairs.  Please share any contacts you may have.  I am in Kentucky, so the shorter travel distance the better.  I've already contacted J.R. Clancey and IWeiss has been contacted by our district.  The inspector must be insured. Thanks. ------ ...

How would you design a prop so that it flashed a single color momentarily? I am thinking of the apple in The Giver. Thanks. ------------------------------ Karen Feldhaus Owensboro KY ------------------------------

The Giver

Found In Egroup: Open Forum \ view thread
I think I will finally have the right combination of students to produce The Giver. I only hesitate due to the technical requirements. What suggestions would anyone have for a traditional proscenium stage with a lighting system that was new in 2000? I could probably accommodate rear projection, but I ...

Any suggestions for projection exercises? Especially needed for novice actors, very first time on stage and a cavernous house with poor acoustics. "The mouths are moving, but we can't hear them!" ------------------------------------------- Karen Feldhaus Owensboro KY --------------------- ...

Our school is next on our district's facilities plan. That means we may (big if) get some much needed renovation/space for our performing arts programs. Administrators have asked performing arts teachers to seek out advice from our colleagues across the nation who have had renovations, not new builds, ...

I can come up with plenty of music, TV & movie ideas, but I prefer to find some quality short plays which we could perform. In my most recent search I have found one short play which might work. We ...
