Romeo and Juliet - William Shakespeare
“An age-old feud between two houses has been wreaking havoc in the city of Verona. Despite the animosity and danger, young star-crossed lovers Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet fall in love at first sight. Their secret love affair results in tragedy and strife, begging their families to reconsider the error of their ways.”

OBJECTIVE. Craft a study guide for a high school group coming to see the play of your choice (from the assigned plays for this class). This study guide may be done in a multimedia format or as a paper packet.
Consider tone, readability, activities crafted for the students, and the information provided in the play.
-
OBJECTIVE. Create an actor packet for a play of your choosing from the reading list for the semester. Use "Chapter One" from The Process of Dramaturgy as your guide to create this.
Consider the thoroughness of addressing the various (applicable) aspects of the categories, while also keeping/culling the material into a manageable size that would help an actor through their process (30 pgs approx). This may be done as a website (or other online venue) or as a paper packet.
-
OBJECTIVE. Craft a program note for a play of your choice (from the plays assigned in the class). The program note should be approximately 250 words and be for the same play as the actor packet.
Consider the tone used, the correct length, appropriate use of grammar, and readability.
-
OBJECTIVE. Craft a post-show discussion or panel for your play that would last approximately 15-20 minutes (roughly 3-4 questions).
If you decide to craft a panel, make sure you include the names of the people you would like on the panel and why you are including them.
For both a post-show or a panel discussion, include the questions that you would ask the audience or the panel.
