Hi all -  I'm currently in rehearsal for Letters to Sala and had a question for you all regarding the flier drop at the end of the show (leaflets announcing Germany's surrender). Pages are supposed to come down over the stage itself as well as the audience... Well, our stage is "weird". We have a small ...

Hi Lauren! We just closed on Clue: On Stage! We had all our props printed on the 3D printer by our science department. We then spray painted them white (some with greater success than others!). We've got 2 revolvers, the candlestick, the lead pipe, the wrench, the dagger and a butcher knife for the ...

Hi! This is really for anyone who's directed the play before or who has a copy of it lying around... I'm currently directing Don Zolidis's The Birds at my high school, and on page 36, Pithetarerus says "It's time to accept the fact that humanity is a doomed species and go one with someone more likely ...

Hi, I'm about to start a project in my advanced Acting class where we divide into groups (4-5 students each) and read the same group of ten minute plays. Does anyone have an existing form of some sort that gauges student's reactions? Something that allows them to write their individual opinions ...

C. J., this is a great idea! I also have an intermediate class (Advanced Theatre Arts) and this sounds like something to explore with the particular group of kids I have enrolled in it this year. Do you have any materials you'd be willing to share regarding this project? ------------------------------ ...

Hi all! The mayor of the town where I teach has reached out to our program and asked us to prepare pieces for inclusion in a 30 minute tribute performance to be performed on Veteran's Day.

Absolutely! I did it a few years ago, and had a female stage manager, constable, the Crowells, Professor Willard, Sam Craig and undertaker. It worked very well! ------------------------------ Elizabeth Kott Port Washington NY ------------------------------

RE: Cast/crew Bonding Activities?

Many years ago, we had the format of three shows - one Friday night, a Saturday matinee and a Saturday evening. I started the tradition of a cast/crew pot luck dinner between the shows as a way to ensure that none of the cast "wandered away" for dinner and then didn't make call before the second show. ...

We run laps. I'm not kidding. For every line they either go up on or call "line" for on line deadline day, it's one lap around the auditorium (up one aisle, across the back, down the other aisle, through the pit). My stage manager and assistant stage manager keep extremely accurate track of line calls, ...

I've been searching high and low for the music for the song Snow White sings in Act 2 of the full length version ("There once was a girl who fell in love..."). Any help locating either sheet music or a karaoke ...
