Homework #7: Musicals!

This is another large assignment. It is due Tuesday, December 2 (the class after Thanksgiving break), and it worth triple. It comes in three parts.

PART 1: Fill in the sheet that I handed out in class on November 20. Some websites that you may find helpful are the official Tony Awards website's searchable archives, playbill.com's list of current broadway shows, the Internet Broadway Database, and the Pulitzer Prize website's list of past winners for Drama.

PART 2: Answer the Chapter 9 guided review questions, including the extra ones added today!

PART 3: Make up an date seeing a show that you and your guest would both enjoy. Since this is an imaginary date, feel free to be creative and have fun with it!

Briefly describe the type of show you enjoy seeing.

Briefly describe the type of show you think your guest would enjoy seeing. (Your guest can be a boyfriend/girlfriend, parent, roommate, sibling, friend - whatever.)

Pick a play being performed nearby that you think you would both enjoy. Use the internet as a tool to help you find shows being produced by local community theatres, nearby professional theatres, other colleges/universities, etc.

Explain why you think you and your guest would enjoy this show.

Mention where and when the show is being performed, and how much the tickets will cost.

Cite the source of your info(e.g., the theatre's website, a copy of the advertisement from the paper), so that I can double-check everything.

OTHER THINGS WORTHY OF NOTE:

There will be a quiz on Chapter 9, The Musical Theatre, in class on Tuesday, December 2. It will carry the weight of one homework assignment.

Please read the blog comment someone left in response to the entry, "Chapters 7 & 8 Review Questions".

Our tech rehearsal is also on Tuesday, December 2, from 7:30-9:30 p.m. The performance is Monday, December 8, from 7:30-9:00 p.m. Missing EITHER of these is an automatic failure for the entire course!
