Acting Class

Monday, May 1, 2006:

We are going to be meeting in #503 for the rest of the semester. Today we are going to present on stage what we have done so far on our scenes. That means that each group is going to go up on stage and read with all the cast members the cut scenes and monologues in front of the rest of the class.

We will start with WAITING FOR GODOT. If we have time today, we will then proceed to LAUNDRY AND BOURBON.


Tuesday, May 2, 2006:

More of the same. Today we will finish up with LUANDRY AND BOURBON and move on to A PIECE OF MY HEART. If we have time, we will then proceed to ANGELS IN AMERICA.

Wednesday, May 3, 2006:

Today, we will finish up with ANGELS IN AMERICA and then move on to WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF.

After today, I will work with each group once or twice a week. The days I am not working with you, you are expected to be working on your scenes.

Everyone needs to be off book by Monday, May 15, 2006.
