Chasing IQ’s

Theatre student director’s progress of producing a play

OPENING NIGHT!

Wow. It’s here.

The Gender Agenda will premiere as a student-produced show for the first time tonight at 8:00p. Wow. Crazy!

After Tuesday’s run through, I’ve seen a tremendous change in my cast–their confidence has sky-rocketed. They feel so ready. And I know they are ready.

They know this show inside out, upside down and backwards—I know that they are all a little concerned with the intimate audience, but I know that they will be amazing.
For the past two nights I was bored with drilling lines, so instead we played some improv games–which they all got really involved with–and then for a test, which turned out to help a lot, was I would read a random line in the script and then they had to say their next line.

TIP: Drilling lines is boring. And no one likes to do it. Find ways to make the lines more interesting. Talk over what each line means, and try to help the actor associate each line with something that they will be able to remember easily. For find a game with a good reward system so that they will WANT to learn their lines.

I have full faith and confidence in them and that they will shine tonight and tomorrow night.

There are still some seats available at the box office–reserve your tickets!!
