Juanita Drama for the week of September 27, 2021
Juanita Drama's FALL PLAY Opening in NOVEMBER!!
Hello Drama!
It is our final week of September, 2021! Congratulations for making the giant leap back to in person education with grace and compassion for each other and for your teachers. I am enjoying getting to know each and every one of you in our classes, and am grateful to be back in the Theatre as we begin our work on PUFFS!
Our state of the art Rigging System is fun to learn and explore, and the 6th period Tech class spent last week learning how a counterweight system works and seeing it in action with Juanita's amazing fly system. If you missed the test on Friday you will find a makeup version in your TEAMS.
7th Period is studying The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940, preparing to read the play out loud in groups starting on Monday. Make sure you have completed the MCM TEAMS assignment so that I have your input on casting the reading groups. If you haven't finished the play you will find a link to an online script on that same TEAMS assignment.
6th and 7th: I have posted feedback and scores from the Come From Away assignment. If you did the Bonus you will see that added to your score. If you did the BONUS but didn't add a note, interview or sketch to your TEAMS submission, then re-submit and let me know.
PRODUCTION WORKSHOP (AFTER SCHOOL 8TH PERIOD)
SCHEDULE FOR THE WEEK FOR PUFFS!!
IMPORTANT ATTENDANCE NOTES for after school Drama:
The Conflict Sheets were vital to making sure that each individual could have the time to fulfill their responsibilities in the Fall 2021 Play Company given their weekly conflicts. I use these sheets to make company position decisions. FROM THIS POINT FORWARD, you will need to share your WEEKLY CONFLICTS with Mac in your Monday Letter Response, so that we are all in good communication about attendance. You will also be asked to text or email Kaylee Starr or Aria Eddleman who will be in charge of handing Mac an attendance slip each day at call time for anyone who is expected at a meeting or rehearsal who is not present. You ONLY need to share conflicts on days you are called . Please be responsible and respectful about ATTENDANCE.
ALL students in ALL Drama classes will be reading and responding to the Monday Letter each week. It is easy to do! Send an email to emcmurray-hauk@lwsd.org by 9pm on Sunday. It is important that you respond on Sunday because it helps me to understand what we need for the week. Add a subject heading (not Monday Letter) that relates to what you are telling me (2-3 words, make them fun!). Keep the letters short and to the point, letting me know what you know and understand about what we are doing, deadlines, comments. Ask questions!
Take care!
