This promises to be a busy week in the drama department! On Monday, auditions will be held after school for our first production of the year: The Odd Couple. To sign up and to retrieve audition material, please visit Mr. Adams' blog at cccepaadams.wordpress.com. Auditions for our student-run improvisation troupe - FNL - will be held the same evening. Callbacks will occur in class on Tuesday and Wednesday in all periods.
I'd also like to take a moment to say how impressed I was with your beginning-of-the-year monologue performances. There is nothing more rewarding than watching you do what you love to do, and the talent on display was exceptional. This is a great time to be a member of the CCCEPA Drama Department - we are loaded with gifted actors!
Here's your weekly outline of what to expect in class in addition to callbacks:
DRAMA 1
On Monday, we'll have one more day to select and rehearse your film/TV scenes. On Thursday - once callbacks have been completed - we'll start taping our first on-camera scene! Your written script analysis assignment will be due on Thursday as well. On Friday, we'll finish taping the first scene and then review the footage in class. If you are not acting in a scene, you will be serving on the camera crew in any number of the production jobs we've discussed in class.
DRAMA 2
On Monday, you'll be able to continue rehearsing the True West scene. On Thursday - once callbacks have been completed - we'll begin first performances of the first half of the scene! Performances will continue on Friday and will resume at the beginning of the following week. Please make sure you're completely off-book by Thursday!
DRAMA 4
On Monday, we'll have another day of roundtable monologue review (please make sure you are bringing multiple options to the table!). On Thursday - once callbacks have been completed - we will start our first round of college research presentations, which will continue on Friday. Everyone should have their first school ready to present by Thursday! Please be certain to have an electronic copy of your presentation available in your email, on a flash drive or both.
Have a great week, everybody!
