Drama 2.0 project
*Attend a dramatic production (play, musical, murder-mystery, etc.) and write a review of it. You may comment on actors, costume, stage design, special effects, lighting, music, etc. along with your review (which shouldn’t be any longer than a page), please include a copy of the program and/or ticket and/or any other proof that you were in attendance.
*Alternate: Create the program for what you attended and witnessed.
*Alternate: Write a script of any summer event (Pickerel Days, going to the Skate Park, going on vacation, walking on the boardwalk, swimming, etc.). Be sure to include multiple characters, set design for your “production”, a cast list, a description of characters, stage directions, and a title for your script. Length: 2 pages, but you can skip a line between speakers. See example below:

SUMMER DAYS
(Setting: school, early morning)
Heath is waiting at locker for Gator (Tim Gates) again because he’s always late to get his borrowed cleats back. As Heath makes gestures and offers an occasional hello to passersby, Tim finally frantically scurries in with a oversized, overloaded bookbag, cleats, football gear with his shoes untied and his hair still wet. Before he can unload, Heath agitatedly starts in with…
HEATH: Where you been, dude?!? You’re late as usual. Mr. Strong is going to give me another tardy. One more and I have to serve detention!
GATOR (apologetically): Sorry, man. It has been quite a morning. I didn’t hear my alarm go off, I couldn’t find my socks, I accidentally put Desitin on my toothrush instead of toothpaste, (now trying to hurry past the embarrassment), it just has been a difficult…
HEATH: Did you say Desitin?
TIM (embarrassed): Yes, but…
HEATH (falls to the floor in hysterics)
TIM: Ha Ha (in full-blown sarcasm). Yeah, it’s real funny. It’s not my fault my little brother has a diaper rash.
