Fall Play: Acting

The fall play is a one-term mainstage, process-to-production experience. Students are cast by audition. The term begins by focusing on script analysis and character development and then students engage in the rehearsal process to bring the play to fruition alongside the technical theater and costuming students. Placing equal focus on the process as well as the product, students build collaboration, creative problem solving, empathy, and leadership skills as well as performance skills. Students entering this process should be highly motivated and interested in an intense and exciting experience that requires a great deal of commitment. 

Rehearsals are each day from 3:45pm-5:30pm. In the weeks leading up to the performances, Saturday rehearsals are added as well as late rehearsals ending at 6:30pm the week before the show, 9:00pm the week of the show, and later into the evening for the actual performances. Past shows have included Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, The Visit, Secret in the Wings, The Laramie Project, Trap, and Marian, The True Tale of Robin Hood. Participation in the play will be confirmed following auditions.
