Description
Course Description:

Theater Production is designed to introduce students to all aspects of creating a theatrical production from start to finish, from on stage to back stage and beyond.  Students will take on the various roles of theater practitioners throughout the course and demonstrate mastery of their job functions by the end of the year.  This course will directly intersect with the drama productions and spring musical, giving the class a chance to use their skills firsthand in full-scale productions presented to our community.  Students will leave this course with the knowledge and skills to continue a career in the theater field.

 

Philosophy and Approach:

To be a great actor, one must understand how the director, stage manager, designers, crew, and house manager operate and what they are attempting to accomplish.  This must be said for all roles within one theater production – one must have a firm grasp of all the working parts around them and how each role contributes to the next.  Therefore, within this course, each student must experience each role and understand the connectivity between each facet.  Students will also be given the chance to hone in on particular roles of interest to them, and refine their work within that capacity.

For the past week, students have been rehearsing and revising their original avant-garde script creation.  On Tuesday September 29th, each group will be presenting their piece as a "working rehearsal" for the class.  This presentation will be graded as a rehearsal and not a polished product, with the attached rubric (students have received hard copies as well).  This rubric includes the script, which is due at the time of their presentation.  The teacher must receive a copy of the script for students to receive credit.
