This is the schedule of rehearsals and performances that take place at the Two Roads Theater during the week of 12/10 to 12/13.

And here is To Do list that I passed around today -- this also will be updated frequently. You can gain points by doing these jobs. Many of you already have the 10 points you need for the Final (which is the performance)

Othello Rap

For those of you doing the Othello Rap, please listen to this.

Also, you should do a YouTube search for "Othello Rap" as there are several different groups of people performing this same song.

Performances: DECMBER 12 and 13

Although we’ve been announcing it daily in Drama, I want to make sure all the parents know when our tech rehearsal and performances are for the Drama performance.

The times listed here subject to change by a half-hour or so, but the dates are solid.

Wednesday, 12/12: After school until 6:00 – rehearsal at the theater.

Thursday 12/13: High school performance at 4:30, Dinner break from 6 to 7:30, another performance at 8:00

The theater is the Two Roads Theater at 4348 Tujunga (near Moorpark) in Studio City.

We will arrange carpools and supervision the week before the shows. The evening performance on Thursday should end by 9:30-ish and kids will stay ½ hour more for clean-up.

The Finals schedule has been rearranged so that the only final on Friday the 14^th is Block 2 (Drama). Since the performance is our final, drama students will use that 3 hours as a homework study period (facilitated by Pat and Terry) to catch up on any review they may have put off while preparing for the show.

Hope everyone is ready for the most varied variety show since Vaudeville days!

SCRIPTS DUE TOMORROW

Please be reminded that if you are one of the students writing a sketch for the show, you must turn in a first draft by tomorrow. It’s okay if the script is altered later, but you must email a completed draft to me and Pat before the end of the day.

Grading for the final

Your final grade is based on the preparation for and execution of the show we do at the end of semester. You will participate in the show at many levels, and for the most part you will choose each aspect of your participation, such as performing solo, in a group, helping another group with technical elements, playing music, writing or directing. You accumulate credits for each level of participation, and you will need a minimum of 10 credits.

Once you commit to 10 credits worth of tasks, your grade will depend on how you prepare and execute them.

Credits available

4 credits for a monologue (approx 2 to 3 minutes)

4 credits for creatively leading a scene (writing and directing – acting is optional)

3 credits for full participation in a scene (acting)

1 credit for minor participation (3 lines or less , no more than 1 entrance, 1 exit )

1 credit for being in “Review Reader’s Theater”

1 to 3 credits for tech, depending on how significant

You will be graded on:

Preparation

• Costumes
• Props
• Line memorization
• Rehearsal outside of class, not including rehearsals organized by the teachers

Execution (dress rehearsal and performance)

• Teamwork
• Crisis management (keeping cool if something goes wrong)
• A healthy “show must go on” attitude
