Hello, Everyone!
I hope you got my email inviting to you Google Classroom. Here is “Introducing Google Classroom” with class codes and some information. Please try not to feel overwhelmed. We are all going to do our best.
If you need help during this challenging time, please reach out – doesn’t matter what you need help with. If I can’t help, I bet I can find someone trustworthy who can.

In class this morning, I announced that I have changed the “live” requirement to your Basic Play Review assignment. Given public health circumstances to not assemble in large groups, I will allow and encourage you to view a video recording of a live stage play. I realize that your experience will not be the same as the exchange between audience and performers that occurs during a live performance; however, you will still be able to express your ideas in evaluating stage performance. On our Drama Class page, see “Basic Play Review.”
Select a show that you would really like to see live. Make sure there is a recording of it as a live performance.
Where Do I Look?
“Digital Theatre Plus” is one place to find excellent suggestions for titles/shows! Digital Theatre Plus, however, requires a subscription … so try to find a title that interests you through other means.
The BBC website for performing arts may also be a good place to take a look for recordings of performances that interest you, and the BBC usually has a healthy amount of supplementary information to augment your viewing experience.
Your Play Review is not due until mid-May. So, 1., you have time, but 2., don’t wait!
