   2. It must be longer than 30 minutes in duration.
   3. Acceptable forms include:
   4. Drama, Musical, Performance art, Children’s Theatre, High school Theatre, Pro Theatre
   5. You can only attend a high school or children’s theatre piece once for this assignment.
2. If you have a question on what may or may not be acceptable, please ask.

Take Notes

1. During and/or after the performance you see, write copious notes.
1. How did it make you feel (adjectives)?
2. What parts of the production made you feel that way?
3. What were your impressions of the technical aspects of the production?
2. Here are some questions to get you thinking:
1. What is this play about?
2. Did the director’s interpretation of the script aid or subtract from the message she was trying to tell?
3. How do the technical elements add or subtract from the story that is being told (set, costumes, lighting, sound, etc.)?
4. What did they attempt to do with the technical elements? Did they succeed?

Write a Critical Review

1. Using your notes, write a well organized technical review of the production.
1. You must relate your review to the reading.
   1. Include at least one meaningful quote from the class textbook.

1. Do not judge the production as “good,” or “bad.” Instead, write about what they were trying to accomplish, whether they did so, and what influence the technical elements had on the production.
2. Tell me what the story is that the director is trying to tell.  Do the technical elements help to tell that story?  How?

Grading

If I cannot understand the message that you are trying to convey due to poor writing quality, your grade will be adversely affected. This paper will be graded on content (50%), organization (25%), and writing quality (25%). Extra credit will be given if you include meaningful quotes from technicians/designers working on the production.
