Help your students organize their information about their characters Goals, Obstacles, Tactics, and expectations using this GOTE Sheet

This is the general audition form I use for main stage productions.

I have laminated these short snippets of musical theatre lyrics and posted them in my auditorium. They are there for the kids and play-goers to enjoy during downtime, but I also use them as prompts for discussion or written reflection when we have a few extra minutes in class.

In this unit, students are separated into research groups to research an era of Theatre History. They create a presentation on their unit of history and a puppet version of Jack in the Beanstalk that demonstrates staging, costuming and structures typical of their time period.

This is a rubric I use for performance in an advanced acting class, but it can easily be adapted for production performance as well.

Here is an example of what I send out to my Actors before auditions. Feel free to use and adapt

This is an example of what I hand out to students interested in being a part of our tech crews. Feel free to use and adapt as needed.

This is a sheet that gets passed around at the first parent meeting of the year. It is easily adaptable to suit your specific needs for a production, field trip, fundraiser, etc.

This reflection assignment can be useful for both beginning and experienced student directors.

An application for students who wish to assistant direct a mainstage production.

Summative Assessment with categories for vocal expression, physical expression, character, and directing/staging/movement. (Used as part of our District's Student Learning Objectives with SC State Standards, but can be adjust for any standards.) This is a forced copy Google Doc.

This is inspired by/adapted from the Feldman Method of Art Criticism. It provides the students with the steps to discuss a performance beyond the "I liked it" or "they were not good", and encourages the to students to consider the performance as whole before asserting a judgement on it. It can easily be adapted further by inserting specific vocabulary or skills you are targeting for your students.

This is the typical syllabus I hand out. I tweak every year, and have already seen some changes I'll make this year.

This is the contract I am using with my Advanced Class this year. It outlines specific requirements for each 9 weeks. I also included character analysis, theatre critique outline, and 4 different play analysis formats for them to choose from as they complete these assignments. This class is for the advanced theatre student and is a PRODUCTION, PROJECT, and PERFORMANCE based class that I hope will equip students for college auditions and theatre programs by having them compile a full portfolio of their theatre experiences!
