Production Tips for
Commence

by Christian Kiley

A group of students have an online meeting with their principal while they’re all under quarantine. They want to regain normalcy and recoup what they’ve lost as seniors: prom, school play, graduation. But nothing is normal. Everyone is losing things. It’s a scary and uncertain time, like a fire has destroyed memories that haven’t happened yet.

This play is intended to be performed in a video conference call or meeting. It is specifically geared toward actors who are not in the same physical space.

Tips from past Producers

I would hold back on giving lots of direction to the students with their performances. Many of the lines in the play are exactly how they feel right now, so allow them to their moment.
