The big play is tomorrow!

Please work hard today in making sure that your lines and blocking are memorized for tomorrow!  Let's show our commonwealth school what you have learned about acting this semester.

Play Time!

We have only one more rehearsal before our play!  I was a little disappointed in the level of preparedness yesterday.  When we asked for the young actors to pull out their scripts, only one had brought their script with them.  I was hoping that with two weeks to read over the scripts, most lines would be memorized and that our actors would come to class prepared.  Dorothy has done an amazing job at memorizing her lines and I know that in the next week everyone else can also!  The other thing that everyone needs to practice is projecting their voices.  Work hard this week and we will have a fun play to share with our school next week.

Costume Call

We have had our first read through of the play and I will be emailing each of you the full script to print out at home.

During the Thanksgiving break, each actor needs to memorize their lines.

Also, each person is responsible for their own costumes.

Kaela - Lion - do you have brown pants and a matching(ish) top?
Jonathan - gray sweats

Zoe - please bring in dress

Fischer - tux

Scarecrow - old clothes

Molly - tan or brown clothes

Raina - look for something that Dorothy might wear (it does not have to be the traditional Dorothy costume)

Thanks!
Work hard on those lines and have a happy Thanksgiving!

Another Play Opportunity

... and this one is FREE!

. . . and it is performed by homeschoolers!

December 2nd at 4:00pm at the Tacoma Musical Playhouse at 7116 6th Avenue.

My family will be there.  

Only three more weeks!

Three weeks?!?  Where did the time go?  Today we practiced getting into character with our new parts.  We only have a few rehearsals before the play!  When is a good time for an additional dress rehearsal? 

Next week we will run through the play and hear a monologue from Kaela. 

Play Rehearsal Time!

Today we played an improv game called Stop! Go! and then we heard monologues from Jonathan, Lacey, Zoe and Fischer!  

We have also announced official casting for the play: Alice in Candyland written by Alina.

Dorothy - Reina

Wicked Witch - Zoe

Toto - Kaela

Lion - Molly 

Glenda - Lacey

Tinman - Jonathan

Dr. OZ - Fischer

Scarecrow - Alina

We are currently seeking: a lion's mane, a furry jacket and pink hula hoop for costumes or props.

Teacher Nalani is our costume director, assistant director, as well as the voice of Auntie M.

Teacher Leiloni is the director.

Alina is our playwright as well as assistant director. 

We will be rehearsing our play during class but if any additional rehearsals are needed what day or time would work for everyone? 

Spooky Stories and Improv!

This last week we had an improvisation game and then scary story telling.  This week we will be start rehearsing for our play.  I also would love to hear monologues from anyone who has not performed.  This includes: Fischer, Kaela, Lacey and Jonathan.  Zoe also wanted to grace us with another monologue.  This time lets try not to have any songs.  Only good old acting. Again this can be a piece from a play, a movie or even something that the child has written themselves!
