Production Roles Handouts

1.  In your group, one person reads the handout for your group's production roles aloud, switching the reader every new sentence.  Everyone annotates as you read, and have the group to stop and write down any questions as you go.  stage managers meet with Matt during this process

2.  Once you are done reading and annotating the handout, Matt will go around to answer any questions you may have.  If Matt is checking in with another group, your group begins working on the production roles and dividing up work as needed.

3.  Break


4.  Line memorization:  --Line-memorization.  In groups, read your lines through once through a simple reading first and make blocking decisions in pencil as a group.  Blocking changes may change.  Then do three run-throughs of the scene.  After each run-through, consider changes to the script. --After done with 3 run-throughs, memorize lines according to the link on the DP.

Narrators--edit your lines down, feel free to change what you wish. Write new script entirely if there are lots of changes.

Lovers/Theseus/Hippolyta/Egeus run through Scene II with your director.  A

Robin/Titania Fairy/Oberon/--Run through your lines with your director (class one, this group will have  Matt as director)

Mechanicals/Bottom--memorize your lines individually for Scene IV, Act II-- After Matt/one stage manager is done with his group of actors (fairies) he will work to block the scene with you.  Scene starts on top of page 24 with “If we offend”, ends on bottom page 25 (Will thou hear our epilogue?)

--Other characters--work on production roles.
