The Shows
The PREMIERE SHOW

Characters
They use the students to create
Locations
They show how different
Activities
change the action
And then the Actors use the Characters, Locations, And Activities to create a
Plot
At the end of the show, the actors review the elements of storywriting. Then, we invite the students to write the stories that we;ll perform at the ENCORE SHOW
The ENCORE SHOW
The Actors create a show using five of the stories the students have written. The students themselves play important roles, create sound effects, and play environmental pieces.
Some of the stories are acted in a straightforward style, but some are created in genres, like:
Western
Silent Film
Action/Adventure
Opera
and more!
At the end of each story, the students who had joined in – and the author, of course, gets to take a bow and be congratulated by their classmates!
