Second Semester Play Production Contract

January 9, 2017

REVISED SECOND SEMESTER PLAY PRODUCTION CONTRACT

Welcome to Play Production!

The purpose of this class is to produce plays and to learn acting techniques and theatre etiquette. Each semester a play is produced and after the play,  the students then work on acting technique, scenes and monologues.

You will need a light weight notebook for this class in which to put your scripts, your written work, and your work logs. The notebook will be submitted after each production or performance of your scene work.

During the spring semester we will be working on two productions: The first production will be the Black History Month Assembly, an all-school assembly,which will be Friday, February 24th, during sixth period. We will be working on this in January and February during sixth period.  There will be  two to three days of after school rehearsal the week of February 20th. Each student will choose to do one or more of the following assignments: research, writing, directing, choreographing, dancing, music research, singing, stage-managing, stage crew, lights, sound, props, costumes.  You must keep the script and a log in your notebook detailing your responsibilities, your goals, and what you accomplished, plus the hours, and days that you worked on the show.  After the assembly, you will turn in your notebook with your worklogs and your typed reflection on your work.  If  you do not participate in the assembly your grade will be significantly lowered. 

In March and April, we will be casting and rehearsing the small Spring production.  The performance dates are: Thursday and Friday, April 20th and April 21st from 4 - 6 p.m.  There will be two to three days of after school rehearsals during the week of April 17th. Each student will be either performing, directing, stage managing, or doing stage crew, lights, sound, props,  costumes, and/or publicity. Again, you must keep the script and a log in your notebook detailing your responsibilities, your goals, and what you accomplished, plus the hours, and days that you worked on the show.  After the production, you will turn in your notebook with your worklogs and your typed reflection on your work.  If  you do not participate in the spring production your grade will be significantly lowered. 

The student may salvage his or her grade by writing a ten page research paper in MLA format on some aspect of theatre which will be submitted to turnitin.com.  The student will have to write one research paper for each show the student chooses not to work on.  However, it will be difficult to earn an "A" in the production class without working on the shows. 

You will receive extra credit for performing in the dance show and the musical.

Much of the director’s decisions regarding the amount of rehearsal needed will be dependent upon the actors’ behavior. It is imperative that the actors arrive on time, with scripts, pencils, and props, ready to work.  Failure to do so will definitely result in more rehearsal time for the cast and possible removal from the show and a fail in the class.  In order for the production of the show to be as easy and enjoyable as possible, the following rules should be followed:
   
    Attend every rehearsal and performance
    Arrive on time
    Have script, pencil, and props with you
    Be ready to work - leave outside drama and baggage outside!
    No talking or fooling around during rehearsal
    No cell phones on stage or during rehearsal
    If there is a problem with another actor please see the director
    Do not give direction to another actor
    Always show respect to the cast, the crew, and the director
    Stay until the director dismisses you

Failure to follow these rules or to follow through on performances may result in your dismissal from the play and/or receiving an “F” in this class.

After the show, Play Production will become an acting class, with students working together on scripts as actors and directors.  We may try to schedule a showcase during May where the actors, directors (and those of you who wish to try your hand at writing) present your work during 6th period to other classes.

I hope this is a fun, challenging and enjoyable class for you, and I look forward to working with you.

Sincerely,

Kate Bridges

PLAY PRODUCTION

The purpose of this class is to produce plays.  This requires commitment on the part of the actors and stage technicians who work on these plays; this commitment includes staying after school until five or even later for rehearsals.  It is impossible to mount a show with one hour of rehearsal a day and we pride ourselves on producing professional and polished shows, which require a minimum of three to four hour rehearsals. We have had this policy intact for the past thirty years and it is the prevailing custom at all performing arts schools and drama programs to hold a minimum of three to four hour rehearsals for each produced show.

If you agree to remain in the class, then you will be involved in the production of the show.  If you are acting in the show, then it is mandatory that you stay after school for rehearsals.  You may not be called every single day at first, but as we get closer to opening night, you will be.  At least one and possibly even two Saturday rehearsals will be scheduled close to the opening of the show.  Failure to attend the mandatory after school and Saturday rehearsals may result in a lower grade.  Failure to perform in the show will definitely result in an “F” in the class.

The first show of the year will be Woody Allen’s PLAY IT AGAIN, SAM.  The play dates for this show are November 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd, on Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m. and on Sunday at 2 p.m. in the auditorium. Auditions will be held during the week of August 20^th.  Rehearsals will begin the week of August 27, 2012, and will go from 2:15 (during sixth period) to 5:00.  Approximately a month before we open we will begin to have rehearsals until six (October 1^st) and the last week of rehearsal (October 29^th) we will be staying until 8 p.m.  It will also be necessary to have one and possibly two Saturday rehearsals from 9 to 4, one to two weeks before we open, which will be October 27^th and possibly October 20^th.

If you are not cast in the show, you will be called upon to help with the technical aspects of the show, which will include stage managing, assistant director, running lights and/or sound, props and costumes.  You may not be called upon to stay after school in the beginning of rehearsals, but as we get closer to opening night, you will be required to attend all rehearsals and all performances.

Again, be mindful that you may not be called for every single rehearsal in the beginning, and that after school rehearsals will be from September through October, and again from the middle of January to March.  We understand that emergencies arise, and if you cannot make it to rehearsal, please give us 24 hour notice if at all possible and a note from your parent/guardian with a phone number where s/he may be reached.

You will be given a rehearsal schedule each week which will detail who is called, which scenes will be rehearsed and when.  The schedule will also be posted each week on the blog at hollywoodhighschool.net.  Please go to the website’s homepage and click on “teacher”, “blogs”, “jbridges”, and “Play Production” to check on that week’s schedule.

During rehearsal it is imperative that everyone is punctual, attends every rehearsal, and stays for the entire rehearsal.  The actors and technicians must refrain from horse playing, talking, and texting during rehearsal; it is imperative that actors and technicians follow direction and at all times display respect for everyone involved in the show.  It is the prerogative of the director to recast or remove anyone from the show at any time if it is determined by the director that the recasting of the actor or the removal of the technician is for the good of the show.

After PLAY IT AGAIN, SAM has closed, we will begin auditions in November for the next show, which is yet to be determined. We will rehearse during sixth period in November, December, and the first half of January.  Starting in the middle of January, we will begin rehearsing until 5 and around March 1^st, we will start staying until 6. The dates for the second show will be Thursday and Friday, March 21^st and March 22^nd at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m.  The venue will be in #503. Although the second show is a smaller show, the same rules apply. 

The last half of the spring semester will be spent on student-written and directed plays. There will be a small recital of these scenes in May in #503.  The date has yet to be determined.

Please carefully read and discuss this with your parents.

Thank you,

Kate Bridges
