Extra Credit opportunity: See a show

I was going to make this the final homework assignment, but since it's crunch time for the show, I'm not going to have a final homework assignment; instead, here's one final extra credit opportunity for the semester!

See another Theatre 100 class's production, and write me a brief assessment of it. It does not need to be as long or as formal as a Critique - less than a page is probably fine. Just let me know what show you saw, and what you thought of it.

The show schedule is as follows:
**Saturday, December 6, 9:30 a.m. - Goldilocks on Trial
**Saturday, December 6, 11 a.m. - Chicken Bones for the Teenage Soup
**Sunday, December 7, 10 a.m. - Law & Order: Fairytale Unit
**Sunday, December 7, 11:30 a.m. - God
**Sunday, December 7, 5:30 p.m. - Employees Must Wash Hands Before Murder
**Sunday, December 7, 7 p.m. - 15 Reasons Not To Be in a Play
**Monday, December 8, 6:30 p.m. - Cut
**Tuesday, December 9, in class - Alice in Wonderland
**Tuesday, December 9, 4 p.m. - The Education of Janet O'Malley

All performances are in J-Studio, and your assessments must be handed in or e-mailed to me by Thursday, December 11 at noon. If you have any questions, you know how to contact me!

Extra Credit opportunity: Chapter 3 Quiz

Even though we had perfect attendance in class today, I'm posting the extra credit opportunity here anyway :)

People had trouble matching the 5 modern playwrights that were mentioned in Chapter 3 (David Mamet, Suzan-Lori Parks, David Henry Hwang, Tony Kusher, and Neil LaBute) to their appropriate descriptions on the quiz. If you got any of those questions wrong, you may submit a paper on Thursday that includes for each wrong answer:
(1) The correct answer (ie, the playwright's name and his/her description)
(2) The reason why this is the correct answer (you may use the textbook's description, or if you'd like, any other resource you come across.)

Please staple your quiz to your paper so that I can see for myself which answers you got wrong.

Homework #3

In the book, the author mentions 4 key elements to theatre as an occupation. They are:

• Work - it is strenuous, demanding of you physically and emotionally
• Art - it is more than perfecting skills (science), as there is aesthetic and emotional pleasure (art)
• Impersonation - one person (the actor) takes on the guise of another (the character)
• Performance - it is done for others' benefit

First, read this section of the text if you haven't (pages 11-18), because the application of these terms to the theatre is not what you might expect. Then, pick one that is relevant to your field of study and identify how you will use it in your career. If you are undeclared, you may pick any field that interests you.

Your response must be typed, and should include:

Your name (first & last)
Theatre 100
Tommy Iafrate
Your major

A paragraph (3+ sentences) explaining how your field can also sometimes involve _______ (work/art/impersonation/performance).

Spelling, grammar, and content are all important.
If you have questions, you know how to contact me :)

Extra Credit opportunity: Since so many people did not do Homework #2, here is a chance to make up for it. Extra credit is available by applying all four of these elements to your career field.
Note: If a certain element just does NOT fit your area of study whatsoever, then you may apply three elements to your career, and apply the fourth element to another activity you enjoy (be it soccer, playing violin, cooking, etc.).
