This is a reminder that all theatre students are required to see the upcoming production of Romeo and Juliet and write a critique on the production. The typed critique is due by December 16th. If it is received prior to that time it will earn 5 extra credit points. A copy of the critique format can be found on this blog.
Updated grades are now available on Aeries for all classes. Progress reports should be going out in the next week or so, so it is important that you are checking your grade regularly and making sure to turn in any missing or late assignments.
This week production, intermediate/advanced, and musical theatre continue to work on class projects related to upcoming performances while Stagecraft continues to work on building the set and props for Stuart Little.
This is a reminder to all students that if you did not turn in your signed contract and local shows assignment on Friday you can turn it in for late credit next week. 10% will be taken off per day that it is late. Both assignments were worth 10 points. Start the year on the right track. Turn in your homework.
