"[This program] brought out a different side to the students, shy kids came to life and outgoing kids found the spotlight. By far, the class said this was their favorite class of the year!" -- 5th Grade Teachers, Hayhurst Elementary
Program Description
This program can be done in 1-3 sessions. Marjorie prefers each session to be approximately 2-3 hours each; teacher workshop rate will be pro-rated.
From choosing a script through closing night, Marjorie will help you with the process including scheduling, rehearsal techniques, parent communication, performance protocols, technical possibilities and trouble shooting, and warm-up games and exercises. Includes sample paperwork for parent letters, schedules, casting, etc.
1st session:
This session can be scheduled before you've selected the script and begun casting. Marjorie will help you create a process and schedule for your production, from script selection through rehearsals. You will talk with her about your priorities for the production and design a check ins and mentoring that support your goals.
2nd session:
Marjorie will attend a rehearsal, assist with any blocking and rehearsal questions, help expand your vision, trouble shoot technical issues
3rd session:
Attend a run through close to opening, help with any problems, with a focus on performance procedures and last minute technical issues.
Sessions 2 and 3 can be broken up into 2 parts, attending rehearsal during the school day with students, and an hour or so after school working with teachers.
