Putting on a play (performing in, or participating in any way) is one
of the most fulfilling experiences to the young student, as it engages
the mind, especially the young mind, in all of the important facets of
everyday life through a creative conduit. In this class, students will
embrace and conquer all of the aspects of putting on a play: from
basic acting/performance skills (including rhetoric, elocution, and
memorization), to stage construction, crafting props, designing lights
and costumes, marketing, and everything in between. Using theatre
games designed by Viola Spolin and Paul Sills’ famed improvisation
troupe Second City, the students will put on a very special
performance: a play created and written by all of the students. Based
on one or a series of stories that the group holds dear to their
hearts, the ensemble will devise a brand new performance never
before-seen, and then go on to produce it to the fullest. Students
will not only be introduced to how to put on a play in a technical
sense but how to work together, problem solve in a group, and sharpen
respectful public presentation skills. The course will conclude in a
public performance on the last day of class.
