Production Quality Memorization Blocking Costumes, props, etc. Flashy production is NOT a substitute for understanding!

Production Notebook Contents Statement of intended effect/ Scene analysis • one page description of your production; explains your artistic choices as well as your understanding of the text (This will be turned in on March 11 and returned for inclusion in your notebook.)
Production Notebook Contents Annotated Script • complete text of your production including (for each time a character speaks): • character intent • textual connections • writer intent • stage inflection • behavior • visuals/sound • effect on audience
Production Notebook Contents Set diagram • view of the performance space, marking arrangement of set pieces, etc.

I’m assigning your group and your scene. The group member with the fewest lines is the director. This person is MY contact person; he or she is NOT responsible for making everyone in the group work equally, get along, like each other, etc.
